I think it would look great. That wings west piece really evens out the front instead of having it curve up a bit..

I hear those WW front spoilers mount really flimsy as is, so adding more weight to it and giving it more wind resistance seems like a recipe for it to pull off @ 75MPH, don't know, just saying based on what I heard about how they mount....So OLD BLUE, how do they mount to the bottom of the bumper cover, screws/bolts/rivets?

the wing west is screwed on.....but I thought I could use a bolt and run it all the way thru into the bumper??

For the $75buck I might just try this??
