Aah, I was wondering what it looked like from the back. I think I'll just wait until my caps get here!

Hey, thank's for the compliment! I originally wanted a Spoon type spoiler like on civic hatchbacks or the Vibe GXP (that was my real inspiration. I got tired of wating for some one to make one and the wing is from EBay at half the cost of the GM wing and painted at no extra cost!And you're right about it looking bald, I didn't notice till you said that! lol

I took mine off and let me tell you, it looks bad@$$. Mine looks different for some reason? Maybe its the color. I've already gotten 8 million compliments for it and they arnt even finished Took it to the first downtown car show last night and got some attention there.I bought some clear silicon for like $3 and gooed the holes until I get the caps. Now they are weather resistant. Also the big gap on the hatch doesn't matter because that is jsuta gutter, if you look at the gap with the end caps on there's still area for water to get through.Tecton, you should wash the inside of your hatch and underneath the rear window. It will look alot nicer with that gap.

Once you get the caps it will look fine, right now it just looks weird because of where the rails used to fit. Once you get the caps it will look fine, just look at Psychovibe's. He doesn't have a wing, just the caps.

You might take some pics of them over to a body shop in your area and see if the can give you a guesstimate. I am waiting until I have it all together so I haven't checked into it yet. I wouldn't imagine it would be that much though to have it painted the same color as the car.

lol...I think it looks awsome even with the holes. It lets people know you are working on the car. Even if the people think "wow that cars missing hte roof racks he must not take care of his car" Who cares what they think because they obviously don't knw anything about cars so their opinion doesn't matter lol.
