i forget who, but there are several vendors/sellers on here in the classifieds that are authorized fabulous dealers. the hood wing i think runs around $400.
i'm actually not sure how it's installed.

Provided the fit is good, you could most likely tape it on.

real: fit is great

knockoff: fitment is terrible. If you get this I hope you are good at bodywork because you will need to be to get it to look good. Scionsport sells the knock off.

Look for a "fabulous" hood wing, the "fab style" hood wing or any other name is a knock off.

yup.
i believe i read someone buying a knockoff hood wing before, and they said that the fitment was so off that it really wasnt even worth it to buy it in the first place.
i'm a firm believer in getting the real deal when it comes to bodywork ...

I sell the authentic Fabulous ones. I usually sell them for $450 and they ship from Japan so you wait a little while for them. I can knock a little off the price to anyone that is interested.

The Fabulous ones have amazing fitment and the quality is wonderful. As for attaching, you can either use screws through your hood, double sided tape, Ive seen people mix up bondo or fiberglass and stick it down, or you can mold it in.
