Looks good, but I'm pretty sure I saw more than one person with a spoiler like that.

Yes there is one other but just one. They only made two prototypes. I would say that sets me apart...

Your car looks good already, sometimes IMO adding too much (roof spoiler) takes away from the simplicity and cleaness that was already there. Not a fan of them on euro cars or the Gs.

Looks really good. Do you have full shots of the car? It'd be nice to see how it flows with the rest of it.

TTrank--you have a stock spoiler with a 3rd brake led light. So, why do you have a tint cut out for the non-spoiler 3rd brake light. You should have your rear window TINT re-done.

Sigh...

I know.

I agree, that is one thing that bothers me about my car. I had the tint done before I added the spoiler and I forgot to tell them to tint behind the brake light. Now that someone called me out on it I need to get it fixed ASAP. They told me they can fill it in without re-doing it all but I need to find out how it will look. It might be worth the extra $ to have them re-do it all.

No man. I am not calling you out---I just think your G is so bangin' that the cut out for the tint in conjunction with a stock spoiler is something you would find on a "regular" grocery-getter type G.......... with a driver that drives continually with a left/right turn signal on.

You should try to have them "patch it" first. That should not cost more than 10 bucks or so if you remove the 3rd brake light. If it looks crappy, you can elect to have the whole rear tint re-done.

I know what you are saying and agree 100%. I need to fix that before I spend any more money on other stuff.

Thanks for giving me that push I need!

Clean, understated, yet just enough to make you take a second look. Well done.

BTW, don't get your tint redone. It will cost you a mint. They can't use scrapers to get it off, they will ruin the defroster.

Do you really want to be diffrent..............?

You could weld you back doors shut and install the
coupe seats then you would have the longest coupe
on the planet.....no? You'd be diffrent!!

they use special chemicals to remove--if they know what they are doing it will NOT ruin defroster elements. It should only cost about 25-35 to remove and 65 to put on tint...90 clams or so...that is not cheap, but not a mint. Those prices are just est. from other cars I have owned.

BTW, TTRANK--that mod is subtle and thus looks pretty good.

I would not mind spending $90-100 to have it re-the right way. I honestly think it would be worth it.
