like all custom modifications and add ons or deletions,they aren't for everyone. different tastes in colors,engine swaps, and body designs. "different strokes for.....". well you get the idea.
anyway i had always planned on some sort of rear wing for the wayback. my original thought were to construct a one off from scratch, and i would have except this idea came along. it all starts with a 2005 crossfire convertible decklid. once disassembled i seperated the skin from the shell and trimmed that down to what was needed to comply with shape of the lancer's trunk lid. a few screws were used to hold it in place and then welded in and made permanent. the welds were then dressed and body filler applied and blocked. then polyester primer was laid down

now it was time to flip the lid over. a minumal amount of body filler was again applied to conceal any signs of the graft. next the area was seal with epoxy primer. now remember the shell of the "crossfire"? that was taken and chopped away at until it formed a nice plug to mate to the under side of the lancer shell. and again the welder did it's duty and fused the two pieces together. redundant as it is, body filler was again put to use. once all smoothed over, polyester primer coated the task.
