I have no experience with Mecham's products, but as good looking as they are, I've heard nothing but horrow stories regarding the fit & finish.....just what I heard.

Mecham's hoods for sure have questionable fit & finish. I know that from first hand experience. Not sure if they use the same supplier for the wing - you might ask them I suppose... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
good luck,

I have this wing from mecham

Its a takes some massaging to get it smooth.I believe they both are made by another company. Can't remember the website though. They were cheaper than mecham. Looks like the IROC racecar wing. Defenitely a unique look. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I bought a mecham IROC style wing. I sanded it for what felt like three months. It was rough!!!! The tail light is alittle goofy to.
It did fit on the hatch fine and after hours and hours of sanding and priming it looks cool.

The fit was good not perferct though. the finish was terrible but you can make it smooth with days of sanding, if you cant sand and have to take it to a body shop to have done they will probably charge you a hefty amount of cash!!!! <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
