Hi guys I had a topic about my Hatch Garnish cracked in half =

http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

And guess what? I was driving on a straight highway and it was quite windy and all of a sudden I heard "clank clank clank clan!" and I was thinking that there is only one thing that can be and I lowered my stereo, then signaled, stopped on the side of the highway, turned off the car and put on my hazard flashers and looked towards the rear of the car and I seen the right piece of the Hatch Garnish floping around. Then I went outside to take off the hanging piece of the Hatch Garnish which was held by the rubber strip and put it behind my seat.

Heres some pics I took when I got home =

I either gotta buy a new hatch garnish or a wing but I want to get the Hatch Garnish instead because its muuuch cheaper=

So is it easy to put this thing on? because I still have that metal clips on the car and the rubber strips left

If you are asking if the wing is easy to put on, you need a body shop to do the work if you are not comfortable enough that you need to ask. Not trying to be mean, but honest. You don't want to spend all that money and have it go to waste b/c you screwed up the wing or the car during the install.
As for the garnish, any junk yard will have a stock wing ir garnish that is a very easy replacement. Also I saw a wrap around spoiler for sale on here for about 100.00 Can (awesome price) Take a look for it.

Hey sorry guys I fogot about this thread lol but heres some updates=

My other piece of my hatch garnish came off a little. Im guessing that the one of the plastic clips that holds the garnish in place broke off because I think I know why. When I bump my subs the hatch part of my car flexes so that must've been why the clip broke oh wells...
