Only cost me $32.50 (unpainted)

Once we all figure out the 'perfect' size, we should do the guy a favor and let him know the results of our research.

I think he was normally higher than that, not sure. Like I said, I just went to his cheapest spoiler and asked if I could get in in 1163mm.

Paint isn't going to cost me much at all. A friend of mine manages a body shop, so I get stuff for dirt cheap plus, I'm having some other stuff painted at the same time.

Anyone thought about using this lip as a roof spoiler? It looks the exact same as the eBay roof spoiler.

I'm not a huge fan of roof spoilers to start with... but a lip spoiler on the roof would just be dumb IMO.

I'm brain tiered from a killer project at work... but am I reading this right?... you are getting a custom fabricated wide body for free?

no I'm pretty sure this: "A friend of mine manages a body shop, so I get stuff for dirt cheap" is code for: "I'm doing insane custom body work"

^Lol, Mike. I wish!

They're pretty handy with a paint gun. And the body guy can straighten out bent metal amazingly well, but I wouldn't trust them for a custom kit... plus the body guy would KILL me
Also, the guy I know manages the shop. It might be a different story if he owned the shop. There's only so much managers can get away with

my decoding abilities are souring... but I'm honing in on what is meant now...

Previous post has been edited (above) with correct interpretation!

if someone had the ***** to do it - and deep sexy vibrant fuchsia would be way cool! I'm serious too... I thought about it for a minute... but I'm not into flashy color on my car (doesn't really fit the theme) - on other cars its cool...
