Anyone use a Rennkit electric wing kit?

I am getting sick of adding fluid each year so was thinking of going to the Rennkit electric wing lifter. How was the install? Just bolt in? Reliability?
Thanks

I have the Rennkit Electric Wing Riser. Reliability has been great! Support is outstanding. Installation is pretty straight forward. Just follow the provided instructions.

How long does installation take? Do you just use the basic tools or does it require any special tools?
I am considering doing this - my OEM wing seems to work ok, but let's face it - at 12 years old, it is meant to fail soon.
I want to be read for when that happens, and hey, who couldn't use an extra inch!?

Installation time is approximately 2 hrs in my case, only because it was my first time, and I took my time. The only special tool you'll need is the "spanner" tool to remove the wing. Other than that, your basic hex tools are all you need, along with some wire stripping and crimping tools for the wiring. Just follow the instructions and you cannot go wrong.

Any pictures of the different heights? I too have considered but don't want a high profile one, something a tad higher is nice.

lol. My wing has started to act up...only one side goes up. No error light. Considering either this kit or just disabling the moving spoiler. I vaguely recall there was an EB works fixed height post option a couple of years ago but I can't seem to find it. Decisions decisions

Here is the 4" version that I had prior to going with the 3" version due to the Werks1 Airbox size.
