Is there any difference between the RMM 3 peice spolier and the Wings West 3 peice spoiler? Is it the same size? Installation the same? Does one sit lower, and is one taller? thanks,

word of advise .. i have the RMM and the fitment is decent, but do yourself a favor if you get the RMM, go ahead and get the same thin 3M adhesive that comes on it and put another layer of 2 sided tape before you install it.....
i put mine on in the beginning and had problems with it.. pull it off and re did it with 2 layers of the thin 3m adhesive..... no problems at all this second time...... just a little advise from my experience...


good luck dont think you'll go wrong with either... blues looks great and here's mine

so is the adhesive tape that comes with the RMM spoiler not very good, or is just to thin. I dont understand what you mean by putting another layer on the spoiler, does that mean put it over the existing tape??? thanks

man i changed my mind, i saw futuregs's rmm wing and when i looked at my wingswet i saw a big difference, the rmm is bigger and slides off the deck a lor more than the ww. he's having the same trouble with the double stick get some more when outting it on or have a shop add something else 2 keep it on...

After doing some research on the net, I found out that the RMM sells on-online for about 236.00, and the Wings West sells on-line for about 357.00. Thats a big difference! It seems that the Wings West looks better than the RMM,

That is kind of funny, but any way does anyone know if the Wings West displays the rear L badge, or does it cover it. Does the RMM display the rear L badge, or does it cover it. I know I have seen some lip spoilers that cover all badges in the rear??
