You know, I'm definitely generally not a fan of that spoiler. It looks very good on your car however. It's aggressive enough to support how "wild" the spoiler is.

Definitely a fan!

Personally I'd keep it carbon instead of black....UNLESS you have other black pieces to compliment it. Painting it black worked out well for me since my bumper takes up so much of the rear end.

Yeah I'm typically not a fan of molded parts either. I would not have even considered it if the fitment was at least acceptable. I test fit the wing though, and the fit was horrible. That along with the fact that the trunk needed to be shaved anyway (key hole, badge holes, and holes for TWO sets of GT wings) made molding the wing a no-brainer for me.

I'm entertaining the idea of adding some molded extensions on the fender to widen the wing and make it flow a little better with the body tho...we'll see

I really like the trunk. It flows with everything else. Would probably look like crap on a stock car but on yours

Love the new look! Question, what was your original trunk? On the top down photo...I love how the lines from the front to the roof to the trunk blend together! Now i'm wondering what you originally had on there before the new molded trunk.

keep up the great build work dude!

The original trunk was a Carbon Fiber Asuka trunk lid. I sold it a couple weeks ago.
