Wing Install?

Does anyone have any insight into wing removal and install. I have a Strosek wing on the way and heard that there is a special tool required for the install. Any guidance?

where did you order your wing from? I'm looking to get the same one. Shouldn't the painter install it for you?

Britt... do not go to Precision for any paint/install work. My experience with them was not good.

I am getting it painted by Eric Sklut @ BumperPlugs so I know it will be done right. I will install it here at Technical Dimensions but just needed some insights.

Britt- my dealer changed my stock wing for the ruf one in 5 mins - go talk to a tech at a local dealership - just one simple special porsche tool that goes into the holes on the hydraulic lifts

I'm sure that someone we both know could get you help at Brumos....

Also Keith has a good relationship with the service guys...

I'm having the ROOCK spoiler put on this week. I think they look about the same.

I have the tool....bought from RUF for $25 & it had to be shipped from Germany.

It's very simple to use. Your best bet is to just buy one from Evan since you're both in FL.

Aren't the Roock and the Strosek wing made by the same people?

what's the best place to order one of these?
