Man if you can please take some more pics of the wing, back, top, sides, and under the rear of the wing. I am looking into buying one of those and would like to see more clearly how it looks on the car before I get it. That is going to be one nice looking car.

black cars are the sweeetnesssss... good colour, nice prep work. Good job on the air dam smoothness. I was actually thinking of doing that with the front turn signals but I'm still unsure. I like it clean.

thanks guys...no sidemarkers are there but i taped it from inside and didnt take the tape off so its same colour as primer and it looks shaved...for the front turn signals i never liked the rectangular ones we had so im thinking of putting some small round ones to offset the headlights somwhere down, not in the bumper where the old ones went but just under them...

Those are the pics I was hopeing for, man that looks good. I was hopeing the wing was not wider than the fenders and it looks like it is just right. Where did the wiper arm go? Does it come with a hole for it and you filled it in or did it not come with a hole? Either way cool pics, cool car, cool everything!!

didint come with one, if you want to keep your wiper then you will have to do some cutting and moulding...i doubt you could just drill a hole trough it as the wiper comes lower then the top panel so you would have to mould it in nice pretty sure....thanks

iceice mentioned to me for my spoiler that if you leave the wiper and mould it, it is a good area for wter to collect. i have the lower profile version of that spolier. all its missing is the lip. hey skully did your spolier come with any mounting studs on the bottom of the hatch (where the hatch lip goes down) mine only has like 6 studs into the main part of the hatch and i dont think its enough, specially if somebody pulls up on it to open the hatch.

yes metric...

well it feels sloppy but i put anther 3 bolts at the bottom, and i will also put a bead of high strength glue for body panels around the the mounting area of the wing...no way those 6 would hold!...if you dont imagine hitting a bump..that thing would fly off hahah...
