Thoughts on the carbon fibre wing?

[Phenom3030]

How’s the almost 50% off deal working out for you guys ?
My a little less then retail OEM CF wing should be here any day
I’m already dreaming how good it will look on her Glamour shot at Home Depot parked as far as I could away from the ignoramus’s lol to get a small 3/8 inch ratchet for the install .

Nothing heard since the in progress email. Hoping their shipping is different than their order taking department, and they just ship it out. lol. Still have yet to see.

Very nice ! I just picked up a cheap small husky ratchet for about 30 bucks. Figured at 8 pounds that’s not much torque so I was going to wing it “no pun intended “ I also have some blue loctite just to be safe. But I like your idea better and I live close to harbor freight so I might have to pull the trigger and do it right .
Thanks Brother

Yea honestly, going by feel will probably be good enough (moderately tight - if I remember, not much force at all, since the click happened pretty quickly). But it's probably good to have a low torque wrench in your arsenal anyway heh. Keep in mind that tool is rated in inch-lbs, so just divide the number by 12. Usage at 8 ft-lbs should be acceptable (using that general min range 20% accuracy rule for torque wrenches).

Thanks brother great advice and tips . Your right it wouldn’t hurt to have a torque wrench like that anyway for future mods .

Well that’s good news and much better than them canceling it on you . Have they already collected the funds ? If they have that could be a good sign

Still shows as pending on my card. Could be good or could go bad.

No word is a good word unless you ordered after the others that were canceled .

Mine is actually on the truck for delivery today. I’ve been chomping at the bit as they say lol. And As I watch the driver get within blocks of my house and now about a mile away heading the opposite direction 🫣

As I wait I figure it wouldn’t hurt download the instructions. I didn’t realize how dangerous it is
