Almost done - front and rear spoilers are on!

Sup,

The weather finally cleared up (sort of), so I had my chance to install my stuff. Here are the pics of the parts I put on so far. Clear sidemarkers (non-OEM, because I like the crystal clear look), OEM front chin spoiler, and rear lip spoiler from spoilerdepot.com.

And here it is, all installed. I wish the sun was out because I waxed the sh*t out of my car and the pics really don't show how shiny it is. I say my car is almost done because I am getting a set of the 2005 OEM 19's and that's it. I like the stock look so much, real subtle. Here's a list of what's on my car

OEM front chin spoiler
Rear lip spoiler - spoilerdepot.com
Clear Sidemarkers
Z-Tube/Pop-Charger
2005 OEM 19's - coming soon

What do you guys think?

Whoa, looking good! I'm thinking about getting a lip spoiler and... maybe a front? Not sure about the front.

Oh, I ust wanted to mention how long everything took. The front spoiler was not very difficult, even though it came with NO instructions. It's a little intimidating at first, especially since I'm not the most mechanically inclined person. The templates are confusing at first, it took me like 20 minutes to figure them out. Once I figured those out, I marked the holes and drilled. It's a good idea to drill the front 4 holes elliptically becuase you will need some room to adjust the lip. The templates aren't exact, but more of a general area of where you need to drill. Don't worry about making a little mistake, becuase the lip will cover all that up. It took about 2 hours to install, but I went really slow. I could put it on in less than an hour now that I know what to do. I am really dissapointed that it didn't come with instructions, becuase that would have saved me so much time. The rear lip spoiler was CAKE. It literally took 2 minutes. Just make sure you have marked EXACTLY where you want to put it on and make sure it is centered. That's it.

The rear lip is installed using 3M automotive tape. Just make sure you prep the area correctly and it will stay on forever (properly prepping before installation is extremely important to get a proper bond). I washed the area, claybarred it, stripped the wax and then installed the spoiler. Afterwards, I waxed everything back up.

yeah Im familiar with using the 3m tape, I just wanted to know since if I ever decided to take it off I could do so and not have to have the holes filled in.

btw your car looks awesome, I like the front lip no spoiler combo but the lip spoiler def. sets the car off, Im still going back and forth between the type N front and the OEM lip but now Im pretty much 100% sure on getting the rear lip.

Does that rear lip come pre-painted, or did you have that done locally?

Great add ons. Just makes me want to add the front spoiler even more

Where did you buy your OEM front chin spoiler from? How much? I can't find it on that site you gave...
