**4 month update** I filled the RS and the crack with “bondo professional gold filler” and sanded it smooth. I’ve had no problems since and it’s been through the hot, cold, snow, and rain and it’s holding up great. I repainted it and put on spraymax 2k clearcoat and then polished it. I would highly recommend doing this since it turned out to be almost like a factory paint job. I also painted the middle part gloss black.
has the wing cracked anywhere else? I know alot of guys have had the actual wing portion crack
Michael Hart nope, it’s holding up better than I expected
@@Nickjoenap awesome man. might have to pick one up to match the maxton rear valence and lip kit i got!
A tip : you can watch movies at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Boden Keaton Definitely, I have been watching on kaldroStream for since december myself =)
Well made video! Nice job man, it looks sweet.
loudernow49 thanks!
I love this idea, its the same logic as swapping a small wrx wing for the sti wing
but at least he is filling in the RS logo on the side of the wing and isn't trying to up badge it but just likes the look of the wing
I was in Atlantic City today, Ocean casino resort. I parked next to one of these white St with that spoiler set up. I have a yellow 🟡 St
Doesn't look bad leave it, not a bad spray paint job should of painted the black with flat black with satin finish clear
The issue with your top plate is, they haven't put the corresponding mounting points to screw the side pieces together, I've looked at the one I bought ( UK ) and watched back your video a few times and you do have the screw mounting points on the side panels, but the company hasn't bother to make the corresponding holes in the top plate to fix them together securely, I admire your patience but I'd have sent that straight back
Very tempting for my 18 in limited blue....
Donald Carner Go for it! It completely changes the look of the car. Mine has held up great
I was wondering is this an actual RS wing that happens to fit into a fiesta? Or is this a RS style wing made for the fiesta?
Donde compraste el alerón?
Good work brotha... thanks for the video
Would you still recommend this wing or find a different brand for an RS style wing.
Donovan Morales Yes I would recommend it, I fixed the crack with some bondo and it’s been great since. I still have it on and I’ve had no problems
Nickjoenap thank you!! You the man!
Hey man, would you be able to link me to what paint you used? Was it a good match?
i got it from my local auto store. it’s duplicolor color matched paint it matches great
What’s the best way to paint it? I have a black st
Use fiberglass filler instead of bondo next time. Bondo isn't meant to fill in huge holes.
Does the regular RS wing fit in 13 or is this specifically for the 13
Fits all hatchbacks from 13 and up
Cooll
I'm planning on doing this also. What did you do with the original spoiler, did you give it away, sell it or throw it away. Just curious what I should do with my old one when I replace it
I’m keeping mine but you could sell it
Yoo what bondo are you using? I’m trying to do this but the bondo I have is grey instead of a red color and it’s taking way to long to dry
I used bondo gold professional filler. Pretty easy to use and I got it from my local auto parts store
Does the rs spoiler fit on an SE ?
Yes
How did u drill it
i didn’t drill anything everything already fits
Skip to 4:52 to skip to the actual process of putting the wing on
Wat paint did you use ?
I used the Yz AutoZone n it was too gray
Brandon Johnson I used duplicolor YZ. Make sure to get a good clear coat because some can discolor in the sun or have a slight tint to it. I would recommend spraymax 2k clear, it looks way better than anything else I’ve used
Are you able to send me a pic of it in the sun plez
Check out my video of the 20mm spacers, you should be able to see it there. It’s a perfect match
Every time I see an ST with an RS wing It makes it look like they couldn't afford an RS.
Any "new" crack on it after 1 week?
Je suis une star Nope, it has held up well
@@Nickjoenap perfect, +1 sub. Very good video/tutorial. Where did u get your paint, from ford or a local paintshop?
Je suis une star Thanks. I got a few cans from pep boys, my local auto store, and I ordered a few from Amazon
@@Nickjoenap the colors difference is't that bad? In video is difficult to judge
Je suis une star The color match is perfect but since it’s spray paint the finish isn’t perfect. Don’t use cheap clear coat because if it’s not automotive clear coat, it might change the color. It happened to me once before. If you have the money I would recommend getting it professionally painted. I’d imagine it would be around $100
This guy fast forwarded the main steps. Useless
