Another damn trunk lip installed

Man I love weekends now. After 28 years w/o having them off regularly, I have hit the motherlode. Had a chance to do a couple of things yesterday and today. Installed a JWT pop, Mike's Mount/Invisicord, and the trunk lip spoiler. Tein H Techs are in the garage, just waiting for some assistance putting them on.

I think the LS bunch is starting to take over.

Here's the update on the spoiler. If I had it to do all over again, I would have taken into account the fact that it curves when I calculated the length. I would have ordered a it a few millimeters longer to get it closer to the edges of the trunk. But, I'm very happy with the outcome. Paint is a perfect match, and that was my biggest concern.










LMK what you think!!

Here you go Janik, a couple more. Obviously the first pic is pre-lip. Wider tires, yes. Exhaust, maybe; still thinking about that.

After that who knows?? We can't be exact twins you know. That would be creepy!!

Here's the link. Less than $100 for custom size and shipping from Taiwan

Yes it is custom. I believe I ordered it at 1145 mm. Would get it a tad longer if I could do it all over again.

I'm slightly off on the curve in Pic 3. Might get some new 3M tape and try to correct that.

Looks sharp Blue. The car and the new lip. If I'm going to put a lip on, it will be something subtle like this. I just wish the edge wasn't so abrupt on the front side. I'd like to see it flow better into the top of the trunk. Maybe this or something else will be available if and when I do it. It's pretty far down the list right now.

BTW, nice pics. Add them to your garage.

Thanks man and good suggestion. Need to get the springs on and then I'll go crazy with the camera. I'll let you know when they are on and we'll do our swap.

Perfect, it'll be right after I get my new tires, which is what I was waiting for before doing anything with the suspension.

BTW, I see I'm not in your sig any more. It's a very worthy replacement.

It looks good not great. OP, I think you're right about it being a bit short.
