Wing RIPPED from trunk in LA last night

I came out of my friend's apt. in Larchmont this morning, Corner of Bronson and Clinton (one block from the Paramount Studio on Melrose), to find my wing ripped from the trunk with the frayed and cracked carbon fiber base layers of the side wings still bolted into the trunk lid.

The trunk is all bent up and mangled under the mount areas where they wrenched on the wing, pulling the bolts, to break it off. Trunk latch is broken but at least the trunk is shut and nothing I need badly in there except my basketball and b-ball shoes.

What they ended up with must be a mess of cracked and useless carbon fiber.

They also left a 3 inch dent in the pass side rear quarter panel where they bumped a knee or something.

Fools must be really desperate for an EVO wing.

Same thing happened to me , but I just got the lancer trunk and went wingless. I got all-seasons for the winter and some other stuff with the left over insurance money. Blessing in disguise for me.

Same thing happened on my old integra (3rd night I owned it ) But I did what everyone else has said, go get a quote for a stock mitsu trunk and wing, then find an aftermarket part you like better.

F-U-C-K-I-N-G thieves! Probably some Honda boys jealous that you car makes more torque at 1500 than their VTEC POS at peak.

Thanks for all the support and sympathy. I have comprehensive coverage so my deductible is only $250 and I have rental coverage. Yeah, I'm pissed, but much worse things have and will happen and you've got to keep things in perspective. Of course, I want to beat them senseless.

Can anyone recommend a great brand of aftermarket trunk? Where can I get an OEM unpainted wing?
