Question Those with the v5-6 wing...got a question.

Is it hard to see out of the back of your car? It took me a while to get used to my coupe wing, but I got used to it and love the fact that it blocks the lights of most suvs. If anyone has a picture of what it looks like to look in ur rear view mirror with a v5 wing, I would love to see it. THanks

Sorry no picture but the view block is more pronounced. The only real annoyance is the inability to tell if that is a light bar on top of that car behind you.

The question of course is if the trade off is worth it. The answer to that is an emphatic YES. Get the wing, the side morrors still work and that little bob up or down you have to do is a minor distraction. I do not regret for one second the decision to change wings.

The only concern of mine is if the v5 wing fits snug against my rs'es trunk. Also, do you need to drill any special holes in the drunk to install the wing??

Some have up to a 1/4 inch gap in the middle of the trunk. You can use the stock RS holes and some have an extra 5 or 6 holes that match the alum. WRX trunk.
