The rotary extreme doesn't fit quite right, but I am really the only person that notices it, unless I point it out.

Carbon Creations products are known for its high quality, great fitment, lightweight, and show quality finish.
from what ive read, this statement is false. but its up to you to decide if u want to buy it, im sure it would look good if it fit right.

na......your not the only one.....

i had to bust my **** to get mine to fit right....but it does look hawt....the price was right and i got a deal on some hood dampers as a result of my efforts on the wing....

the wing is functional, has risers just like factory etc....

and...its cheaper than oem MS....

go with what you like..IMO...just expect to have to make some modifications on the CF...

Nothing up close =(. It is heavier than the MS one, but it doesn't flex under speed like the MS one does either.

The carbon creation wing fits very badly. I was serously thinking of that wing as well but when I went to 7 stock I saw many 8s with it and the fitment was pure ***. With everybody I had a chance to ask about the wing said the fitment was off and that it was a carbon creations wing.. So, The wing did look nice but the fitment was very poor. I not saying off a little bit in alot of cases it was Waaaay off. so I went another route. I saw only 1 with the fitment was OK. but he said he needed to do alot of work on it.. Carbon Creations Got this one way off. But then on the other hand shinka213's wing does look nice. it may be a production issue they may have fixed but. I didnt want to take a chance on it.

I got mine from rotary extreme....

my fitment issue was one of the slots....i had to file it over and over to make it so the top part of the wing could attach to the bottom...

let me get some other photos...

PS...its VERY HEAVY....it closes the trunk for you..
