So i was driving home, and this punk civic is flashing me, wanting to race i thought. i look in my rear view mirror and notice the shadow my wing makes on the back window doesn't look right. i completely turn around, as the civic begins to pull up next to me, and i see that all the bolts on the right side of the top fin of my wing are off, and the wing is now slanted at a 45 degree angle. i slowly look back forward, thinking how embarassing and ghetto it must look. and this really nice guy in the civic tells me my wing is broken. i pull over and he helps me unbolt the rest of it with his screwdriver. apparently the bolts slowly unscrewed themselves from the top part of the wing flapping from the air resistance. great job erebuni, hopefully your body kit doesn't flap on the higway from the wind. :roll:

has anyone else had these poor quality issues with erebuni? i always thought they were top notch.

OUCH! that sucks, try some thread locking stuff next time you screw it in, and just be sure to check it every once in a while.

Seriously. That is teh sux. Did the screws actually break or just unscrew themselves? Are you gonna put it back on?

they just gradually unscrewed themselves. there's only two screws on each side, so 3 came out. i went to home depot yesterday to get screws to match the only one that was left, but since this is america and america sucks home depot has a full aisle of english screws, and ONE FUCKING DRAWER of metric screws. my friend in SB mailed me the screws today though since he had the same size at his local hardware store. so the wing should be 100% by tuesday :?

Did you say erebuni and top notch in the same line?

They have some good stuff.. but I had issues with the Erebuni hood I used to have as far as poor quality of the FG hood..

Must have been embarassing getting "help" from a Honduh..
:wink:
