Also, when you say "aftermarket splash shields", do you mean rear spats?
I ended up getting the K Sport Kontrol Pros. The splash shield is the plastic piece under the engine.

Subscribed and look forward to future pics. Looks sweet! Jealous of your new toys. Makes me want to buy some toys too. Props to you for getting those Akebono's powder coated. I am worried about the brake dust though but I think should still look hot.

Fitment of the RavSpec Roof Spoiler is far from perfect. I had purchased it for my ride months ago and ended up selling it because the ends dont fit flush with the ends of the window. Double Sided tape wont do it justice you definately need silicon or some type of adhesvie glue as the ends the spoiler "pop up".

This is very true. I double sided it to death, and still have ends popping up a bit, but it's also not very noticeable IMO.

I'm not too worried about brake dust, as I typically wash my calipers every time I washt the car anyway... so they will be cleaned at least once a week. Plus, I put a good 3 or 4 coats of wax on them before the install.

Hmmm. Hadn't heard this. Mine seems to fit perfectly on the rear window from edge to edge. I see that the curvature is a tiny bit off (I mean slight), but it doesn't take any effort to push the edges into place, so I don't think it would be enough to cause the edges to lift. Of course, mine's an early fiberglass version and not the current ABS version, so maybe that's the difference.

That's right... you already mentioned that to me. I've got several buddies with those on and they ride very nice, so you should be happy with those.

^ Actually, you'd be surprised. I've had both white and yellow calipers before and they actually stayed pretty clean. If you keep them nicely waxed, then the brake dust washes right off. I'm pretty ****, though, so I typically wash my calipers every time I wash the car.... hell, I even polish my tailpipes every time I wash the car... oh, that just doesn't sound right, does it?
