I'd get the rear first, and then see if it still needs a wing. IMO, looks better wingless.

With or without the wing thats all it will be, a falcon with a body kit. I agree with JC, lowered with a nice set of wheels, loocks tops without the wing

How do you have it fitted if there's no brackets?

But the brackets hold it on, so I'm confused about what's holding that bar on.

um i used the same holes as what the grille tightens onto then there are 2 bolts one on either side of the bumper that i just tightened and for the bottom i just put that cover thing back on. when i lean on it or push it, its as strong as the stock one. it doesnt even move.... ill just get the guys paintin it to check it out when they fit it back on.

I think he meant that the guy he asked puts "extra" brackets on with a kit bar.
First time I removed one I was surprised how little there is holding on the front bumper, so I'm not surprised Neil was expecting more. He probably sees the fender mounts as more "bolts and nuts" than "brackets".
