Would. Like to see what it bolts to with no drilling. You have boltholes in your tailgate?

I don't remember mine having bolt holes.

Yes holes must be drilled and crush nuts installed

Yes holes must be drilled and crush nuts installed excellent tip!....been trying to figure out on how to bolt the wing in, just didn't know the right name....found out that some call them as "nutserts or rivnuts"......thanks much!

That's what I like about the one I posted a link for.. no drilling.. looks like it hangs on the top lip of the hatch.

Hanging on the lip ? Let us know how that works out. And harbor freight has a nutsert/crushnut/ whatever kit around 20$ That's what I use to install roof racks. Make sure you crush em well, so they do not spin

We use alot of rivnuts at work. We actually have various pneumatic tools for compressing them with out messing up the threads. Not sure if there is a back plate they installed when they mount them, or if it to the sheet metal for those wings. I personally would want support if it is thin sheet metal so it doesn't flex.

So if you wonder if the wing helps with dust and mist, it does!
I've been driving 3 days without it and I can tell the difference. as soon it starts raining I can't see through the rear window when I was able to do so with the wing in place. Also the window is getting dirty faster than it used to.
I will get you guys pictures of it this Saturday.

That metal isn't that thin at the top, in fact most metal is heavier guage than comparable units. Contributes to the 4k weight of these buggers

Here it is!! Repainted with black pearl. It had a hole to mount the stop light, but since it is a fiberglass replica it looked horrible and it didn't had the correct light, so I asked the guy to delete it and it was the right choice; it looks way better! The hood scoop will be repainted because for some reason the paint got messed up on one side...
