got my spoiler installed... pics inside
 
Well the body shop said they had some trouble with this. There were able to get the top side painted good, but the bottom wasn't as good and kinda rough. they said the plastic was crappy (thanks ebay) and everytime they would sand it, it would never get smooth. But I think overall its pretty good. There's a shadow from the back since it slopes inward but maybe in the sun will be less noticable. But for $25 for the piece, and $40 for paint, I think its worth it.

Eh! not my style gear. But what ever floats you boat...

And you realy are the most helpful person on 7th gen!

wheamahm0n3yat 04-25-2006 06:02 PM

not my cup of tea.... looks kind of funny.

gearbox 04-25-2006 06:08 PM

ya it doesn't look that great from the back. front view is better, but i like it. its only taped on so i can always take it off later

Hayz 04-25-2006 06:14 PM

looks better then I thought it would still not sure if I like it tho... but don't get me wrong it doesn't look bad

Tragedy 04-25-2006 06:15 PM

I like the spoiler, its rare and looks unique. Imo, it flows with your cars style quite nicely.

MarkieMark 04-25-2006 06:17 PM

I think it looks really nice.
Nice, clean, and simple.

cj2185 04-25-2006 06:21 PM

very clean, i like it

SloCol-Vtec 04-25-2006 06:22 PM

I can't decide if I like or not. :shrug:

kcm 04-25-2006 06:37 PM

it looks alright... think should have gone with a hybrid spoiler if you wanted the lip kind on a sedan... but then again ebay is way cheaper... well time to look at ebay

CenZ 04-25-2006 06:42 PM

hybrid spoiler has a indent for the H badge that he does not have so it would look stupid.

cubanmike26 04-25-2006 06:46 PM

Well, it sure doesn't get any cleaner than that. It looks good.

Al Gore FTW 04-25-2006 06:53 PM

not bad.

familycar 04-25-2006 06:54 PM

doesnt look bad but doesnt look good either. i dont like how it doesnt meet flush with the back of the trunk. and the side view kinda looks iffy to me. i think i like the OEM trunk lip better

1sykcivic 04-25-2006 07:46 PM

its nasty, looks like a folded piece of cardboard that got stuck onto the rear in the assembly line, and got painted by accident..yay 2nd post!!

Caucasian.Asian 04-25-2006 07:52 PM

looks ugly. doesn't flow with the car at all. hybrid tail would be better.

blinky 04-25-2006 09:35 PM

it looks weird and demented for some reason. compared to my m3 spoiler

I concur. Something about it just seems off from behind

ddevil0013 04-25-2006 10:37 PM

it's aight..jus a bit short..i think it would look way better if it went over the tail lights

yes!! you shaved your emblems once again!

RedBull 04-25-2006 10:59 PM

I think the top side edges should be rounder... but it looks nice. How good of a paint shop did you use? Sanding then wet sanding should have fixed it... paint and wet sand... hmmm... then again.

ya i had the emblems on for a week maybe. they just got in the way especially when detailing. shaved owns

CuRiOuSfIsH 04-25-2006 11:07 PM

IMO, the last pic looks the best...

Pitch_BlacK 04-25-2006 11:32 PM

Gear I still think that the hybrid deck lid spoiler would look better. That last pic tho was a nice angle where it looks good.

Its good its just taped on the trunk not drilled so in case you change your mind.

shroomster 04-26-2006 12:40 AM

just remember that its going to effect/affect the paint underneath it....
