Well I've already got 2 of us getting one. If you want one and want it installed on the 20th let me know so I can let him know and try to get a better price. He's charging me $100 for the mounts. If we can get a bunch together we can probably get that dropped, probably a labor discount too since the first is always the longest to install. If we did 3-4 and average the labor cost it would be a sizeable savings.

The 40 was meant specifically for a wing such as mine, and the 25 for a non-dynamically-movable wing such as sfphinktermc's carbon-fiber JSP piece, any of the aftermarket bolt-on deals, or whatever it is you're having made.

Cool, 15 more points for me

2 inches down, 2 inches out. Amazingly I still have the same one I bought last May or June. I've had probably 5 or 6 track "offs" and it's been fine. The worst damage it's received has been due to inatttentiveness on the street.

If you get one, tell 'em you saw it "on Jason's car". They showed good faith in hooking me up way back when...

Unfortunately, I don't think it would last a week where I live. I have about 5 1/2" of front chin clearance now, and the RM spoiler looks like it drops another 3" at least!

jzr, can you throw a tape on it sometime and measure it's height?
Like Jason said its a 2" drop and 2" out. The piece is fairly flexible and unlikely to crack unless you ram something with the front end. I've off'd my car multiple times with the RM piece and haven't suffered any damage. RM is retailing them for nearly $200, primered but unpainted. I've purchased two of them through resellers for around $125. It might benefit us all to bug Rick Hesel for a group buy since he retails a select few RM products. In fact, I need a new one(actually a fourth) because of the "talent" of a valet so count me in if you can get this going.

Indeed. I'd be in on a GB if one were to kick off right away.
