You said you like the "trunk lip" style spoiler right?
theres a guy in ottawa selling this for $20. It's a BMW M3 Style trunk lip.
If you're interested, I'll message him for you.

I know he lives in rockford, but works in gatineu. Dark bought his lip kit off him. You can probably meet him downtown after he gets off work, i think thats what dark did.

ENGINE BAY cleanup day, and doing some painting because thats what I like to do!
The engine bay in my car has NEVER been cleaned before, so with the grease fighting power of Dawn, a rag, hot water, and good ol' elbow grease, I went at it. here are some pics of before and after. Comment rate and share guys! Thanks for tuning in.

Somebody's just trigger happy with the aerosols aren't they 
Very nice job on the cleanup btw
I couldnt help but laugh after reading that you were sealing up your headlights with some "Cocking" hahaha >.>
But yeah, time to paint that heat shield!

Oooo I like the headlights a lot. Were they hard to open up? I heard 04-05 are harder to do which is why I'm weary about doing mine (..I know yours are 01-03...)

HAHAHAHA 
I HAVE to edit that...
cleanup took about 1.5 hours of hard scrubbing and finger bashing and scraping lol. But believe me, there is much to be cleaned in there still.. and I still need to do underside of the hood.
next is the heat shield, but I am guessing I will need some BBQ black paint, so it wont melt off?
Not hard at all, 5 mins in the oven at 250, and peeled right open. it was a very fun preoject
EDIT: cocking = caulking, FAIL fixed

looks good! 
i like it a lot.. you should go buy or order some of those wire cover things i was talkin about, in red, and put em over some wires. it really makes it pop. just my 2 cents.. nice work though, i know cleanin up under there is a PAIN, but looks nice!
