Did you install the winglets yourself? If so, how did you do it?

I dont see any of the G8X parts on their site. Is there a special direct link to it, or did you just email them?

It should be self-explanatory. You probably unbolt the old shit, and install the new shit. Just a guess, though.

Uh, except it usually involves removing a bunch of parts to get to the old part to remove it and you may not know quite how to get those parts off assuming you're going to try it on your own.

I guess I just worked on F-16s for 20 years, and we just figure shit out.

These carbon parts look good, however I've just noticed the rear diffuser isn't quite the same as the OEM version - the slat next to the outer exhaust pipes is at an angle in the OEM version whereas it is straight in the replica version

Good Eye.




In this picture, does this carbon weave, look like it has a little waviness to it, or is it just the picture compression? And what's going on in the shadow of the fin, where the bumper meets the carbon, it looks all jagged.

I contacted the company, and they sent me pricing for everything. Thanks for naming the company. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the lot. Side Skirts, rear diffuser kit, front ducts, mirror caps, front splitter.

Ahh yes the good ol days. We used to always get called pointy heads until someone needed help towing an aircraft. Crew chiefs were always short handed and we had an army of minions. We called everyone else Knuckle draggers. Went to Australia on TDY and they called their specialists the same thing. Pointy heads and bubble chasers. I miss being on the flight line. Good times. Now I spend my time in a dark room looking at radar screens.
