Hello fellow F-body members!!
I have a couple of general questions to ask. It really is a great time of the year! I am finding myself with a little bit of holiday money and chances to upgrade things over the winter.
I had questions about the following upgrades. If I remove the stock wing will there be any holes or anything I need to fill? I am looking to get an aftermarket wing just for a different look. Here is the wing I was looking at.

I just wanted some advice in putting a different wing on. Also if anyone knows of a better wing that looks good please let me know.
Question two...
This car rides horrible, hitting bumps creates tons of noise and vibration. What suspension parts can I replace to fix this problem? I was thinking of getting new shocks and struts, any suggestions for what brand?
Next lol..
I have C6 Vette rims on this car, however they seem to hit on the inside of the fender under heavy acceleration or cornering. Any suggestions about wheel adapaters or spacers? I only have to extend these rims out a little bit, just wondering about the best way to do that.
Last question guys I promise. Like the idiot I can sometimes be, I have alot of extra accessories that are obviously using to much power. An 1800watt Class D amp, undercar neons, and 4 strobe lights are obviously putting stress on my electrical system. At night when I touch the throttle a little bit I have the dreaded GM flicker in all the lights. I have the amp and strobes running off the fuse relay, the neons running off the battery itself. When the bass hits hard of course it dims the lights. So the question is...
Is there a high power alternator that I can purchase? Will a compacitor for the amp help fix the problem? Any other suggestions for getting more power? I realize that running this much stuff is going to create issues, however I can't imagine life without my sub woofers and amp lol!
One other problem... odometer sometimes is off, sometimes on. Sometimes the numbers on it are distorted? Not a big deal correct? But annoying....
Ok guys thanks so much for listening to all my questions and issues. I am still a rather new F-body owner and I am learning more with each question I ask and each project I take on. Thanks again for all the help.
