Outer wing panels

[mainzayne]

Anyone here know if the outer wing panels from a '23 will fit a '15, or which years are actually best compatible? Replacement prices are crazy, so i'm hoping to find a match that works.

From what I recall, the outer wing panels on the 2023 are definitely different from the 2015. There was a pretty significant design change around 2018 or 2019 that affected those body panels. You might have some luck looking at 2016 or 2017 models for compatibility with your 2-15, as those were largely the same generation. Anything 2018 and newer are likely to be a no-go without some serious modification, and even then, the mounting points are probably off. Try your luck on eBay or some of the dedicated Slingshot salvage yards!!

Thanks for the headsup! Just to clarify, do you know if the mounting hardware from the 2015 panels would fit on the 2016 or 2017 panels, or would those need to be swapped too? Also, any recommendations on trusted salvage yards for Slingshot parts??

Wing panel compatibility is just another way manufacturers lock you into overpriced OEM parts, most years won't line up clean without mods. It's deliberate, so they can bleed you dry on replacements.
