Default Question about the Mugen wing

I've seen alot of images of it, and boy is it sexy. I'm trying to weight the posablity of getting one but before I do I've been searching to find out how it attaches. I have a 2011 Insight Ex and from what I could see it almost looks like it may require drilling a whole in the glass, I could be wrong but I've not found any instructions or close up images that show exactly how it goes on.

Any one here have one that could put my curiosity to rest on exactly how this thing attaches?

Cheesie has one. He loves it, it attaches to the black piece behind the rear glass and it does require some drilling and painting. I don't think he has experienced any changes in mpg.

I read the instructions in Japanese and translated it for Cheesie. It does require drilling. It does not require drilling a whole in the glass or even a hole in the glass. You just have to drill metal and plastic.

It would be a moderate job for a good car guy that tinkers in the garage all the time. It would be an easy job for a body shop.

It's very easy to put on. Only need to add holes to the black piece. If you take your time its not hard at all. Its an easy fit, the lines look great! Any questions PM me.
