I rather have the wing on the "up" position all the time. Is there a fuse that will disable it from going back down? Thanks

If you take off the inner decklid cover, you will see the wing motor which rests just above the cooling fan.

Simply pull the black and red wires off and you will be set. You will get a rear wing fault code...but that's it.

Very easy to do.

Sounds easy enough...Will the fault code trigger a check light in the dash??

There is a way to modify the wiring harness. I don't know exactly how, but when fixed wings are put on Turbos you have to modify the harness to avoid the light being on all the time or get the harness they use with the aero kit. Someone that does these installs can help I'm sure.

so, you realize that with the wing up in a parking lot it will take a thief about 30 seconds to steal it with the right tool , right????

SO,,,,,, within about 3 mins you wont have a wing or headlights...

just a friendly warning.

How about putting Viagra in the fuel tank? Then again, it may only stay up for a few hours.
