The side skirts arrived today.
I just can't wait anymore. Monday the car is going at the shop for side skirts installation and paint.
Also how do you guys feel about this spoiler?
I like it and i think i am going to purchase it. I think it follows well the curves and doesn't look out of place.
Thoughts?

Yeah, Wayne... It will but i have to wait until then and it's going to be a long wait...
I think the spoiler can look good in gloss black also but painting it in body color will be my first choice until i order it.
I also ordered H&R 25mm DRM spacers for the fronts to replace the 15mm Eibach that i have now. Fronts will have +13 offset after H&R installation.:ninja:

I like the idea of the spoiler but my only concern and complaint about that one is the lack of following the lines of the car in any way, seems like the ends are randomly ended. I think it would have been a lot cleaner if f.ex. the bottom lines lined up more with the curves of the tail lights, if that makes any sense. But that's just me being picky.
Still you are doing excellent job on your FX with subtle and tasteful add-ons without going overboard.
You could also wrap the spoiler with gloss vinyl or carbon fiber?

Kind of a quick and crappy PS job, but to give you the idea what I meant with following the lights lines

I see what you mean Adam. Your version looks way better following the light lines. I am not decided yet on this nor in a hurry to buy it right away. It was only a ideea to what may come next and thank you for your appreciations made regarding my car and the mods i've done.:good:

No problem i'm just picky that way when it comes to any body add ons or modifications, I find it a bit annoying when something seems to be randomly out on or doesn't seem like it was made for the car.
As to the spoiler if it's not expensive it could be easily modified to flow with the lines. Cut in half fill in the middle and slightly shave the bottom part to fit and you'll have a truly custom piece made to fit

The spoiler is about 280 $. I really don't know what to say about cutting it in half; i will keep it in mind when i decide to buy it.
You are so right, Wayne! I've been playing with this ideea for long but i don't have the guts to do it. I realize now comparing the two pictures that it looks so much better without the whiper blade. Thanks!:good:

Definitely keep the spoiler body color unless you plan to build it out to match the lines. I think black would really accentuate the ends and where they don't follow. Overall, I like the look. Maybe the shop can build it out a little to follow the tail lights? May not need to cut the middle, they may be able to work on just the sides. Don't know if it would be any cheaper than just cutting it apart though.
I left my car yesterday at the shop to start the work on it. I also made a visit today and talk a bit with the owners of the shop about the car. Everything is perfect and the parts are ready for painting so i should get my car back thursday or friday. Man, i just can't wait for it! My car at the shop stripped naked:
