that's why you cut up an old bumper and just melt the 2 pieces together. :)

Seems like there are two types of people when it comes to Del Sol's and wings, some think they look better with, some think they look better without. Personally, I think the fin balances it out a bit when you're looking at it from the side. Granted, I also greatly prefer the stock wing over just about anything else out there. Preston's wing is the only one I think even comes close. You're obviously of the opposite persuasion, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's all a matter of opinion.
