Does the trunk even open with that? I love the spoiler (could be a little rounder) but now im thinking the trunk wont open or we need a different antenna at least.

The trunk opens all the way but you will need to go with a shorter antenna .We have one available or there are several others that will work nicely as well.

I think it looks great. Probably won't suit my Electric Blue as it doesn't look mean enough, but am sure I'd like it on a Black MCS.

I merely put up these shots to give you some idea of what they may look like on a R-53. When there is enough info and / or interest I will start a seperate thread.

Do you have an idea of the price of the wing for the r56? if so, we can kinda go by that for the r53 they can't be off by much can they??? Also are you going to do a first batch special or anything like that?

We are due to get our final check piece back for sign off in the next 48 hrs. If everything is good we will sign off on the unit and begin production. We should have a price list available at this time as well. There will be a few different versions available which should be able to fit a variety of budgets.

Ok here is what I have for you as of today. The lower mounting piece for the R-53 version has been received , found to be perfect and signed off on . The remaining items to be priced are the aluminum end pieces and we are waiting for a final word at which point we will finally have a price schedule for all. Unfortunately this is vacation time , not ours , and some things were delayed. I can give you a basic list as to how the configurations will be put together . Some other options may follow .
