Im thinking about ordering an oem front lip and an oem spoiler from hardtopguy. I want to know the best place to have them installed in the Northern Virginia area.
Or if some of you have done it yourself, how hard is it

if i remember correctly from my headlight clearing, the lip is a bolt on. i had my oem spoiler installed at spectrum in arlington on four mile run. i definitely wouldnt install the rear spoiler myself as it involves punching holes in the deck, but i wouldnt be surprised if there is someone on the board who'd be into it.

We have been only using the 2 outter holes on the deck spoiler which are pretty easy to locate since they are premarked in the trunk lid. This offers the option to change the spoiler if needed. The front spoiler is a bolt on which takes about 20minutes max. If you like I can send you install instructions so you can see the installation.

It's very easy......things are easier if you jack up the front of the car. You can do it!

Alternatively, for the small lump sum of $100 I'll do the installation.

It's very easy to install the front lip. Do it yourself while drinking a nice cold beer. Well, that is what I was doing! The rear trunk spoiler was easy but I ran into some delay installing the new trunk spring or whatever it was. Do it yourself!!!
