Damn that looks really good. Off to ebay to check on availability.

I'm guessing you think it fits our cars or would haven't sent me the link, right???????

Yea I am eyeing those jdm tails myself. I think the molded spoilers are the way to go. Have you tried going to some dealers and looking at new car spoilers? Take some quick measurements then run. LOL

Found the deal of my life on some Wilwood Superlite 6 pot front calipers, Wilwood 14" 2 piece rotors, and stainless steel lines.

Haven't driven them yet, we broke a bleeder screw and will more than likely have to order one from Wilwood.

Got the replacement bleeders and the brakes are up and running. Damn these things stop on a dime......
