Tall wing? (HURRY PLEASE)

So I have stumbled across someone willing to trade wings from a 2dr SS/TC I believe it is an 08'. I have an 09' SS/TC with the short wing. His is a tall wing. Is it a direct swap fitment wise? I need an answer as soon as possible because he is going to sell the car soon. Thank You in advance!!

It will probably be easier to swap trunks if they are the same color. rather than removing the wings and swapping them. Just make sure to swap your keyholes too.

I've seen lots of people dent there trunk removing the wing, it's held on by bolts and double sided tape/glue stuff.

Swap trunks ...... you will thank me later . If you take the hi rise off his car there is a good chance that the outline of the wings base will be indented into the trunk lid....... your low rise base wont cover it up so it will look like **** . Swapping trunks takes like 30 minutes and you don't have to worry about leaks afterwards.

Haha as i was typing this 2 others suggested the same lol

I don't think a low rise 4 door has the same holes as a hirise 2 door...........the low pro on the sedan is alot different than the low pro on a coupe. I can't say for sure if they fit .

On my first SS i had the hirise removed and bought a low pro..... and it was a bitch to get it off . After it was off the trunk needed some body work to hide the dent's the base had caused just from being installed and tightened down. The low pro base is so much smaller that it doesn't cover that up. On my TC i found a person who wanted the hirise ....so swapping trunks was so much easier.

Has anyone seen a sedan with the park bench?

Oh I missed it was a Sedan to Coupe trade.

If you have a Sedan get the real Sedan High Rise. It's clean.



Best picture I could find.

Ya OP if you have a sedan, the coupe wings aren't going to fit, the bolt holes are different. Likewise your sedan wing won't fit the coupe. Get the sedan highrise shown ^^^^, looks very good imo.

I'm not a fan of the hi wings ...... but that looks decent on that white sedan...... atleast enough that I wouldn't rip it off right away.

Yes it bolts up to the sedans holes (Not sure if they are the same as the coupes? I'd assume so). It was an option on the SS sedans I thought. Looks way better then the coupe high rise on the sedan as pictured here.

I always wondered why they didn't put the coupe back bumper on the sedan ..... it seems to fit just fine as others have done it here.
