I didn't think any post here was worthy of a rating???

And so low to..Hmmm
Ok I have nothing of imprtance to say

Wait I do have a question, are you saying when you pop the trunk it goes all the way up to vertical? mine goes up an inch, and thats it, with no spoiler either.

Every car I ever owned was like this, always kinda bugged the hell out of me.

no, but when you lift it open, it will stay open and NOT slam shut on your head or hands.

The spoiler is on and it looks awesome. It makes the car. Should have put it on when I got the car. Looking forward to seeing you guys on Saturday at Tim Hortons. Hopefully it will be a nice day and we can line up the cars for some digital snaps.

Anyone have any suggestions about a front spoiler? I have heard mixed reviews on it.

As an aside, if you ever plan on getting Axcilla's front under lip protector OR his splitter like I'm getting, they won't work with any kind of front spoiler (yet). I find even without the front spoiler that I occassionally hit bottom on steep driveway ramps.

xviper, donny et al.

i have the factory front lip and other than the scrapes etc. - IT TOTALLY COMPLETES THE CAR.

IMO, the car looks "stubby" without it. the front lip greatly "lowers' the visual lines of the car and i would not go back - i'm actually going to have to replace mine soon at the rate i'm going with scrapes, cracks etc.

beware though, the lip slashes about 1.5" of ground clearance.

donny, i was driving behind a black/black this morning with NO rear spolier and the car just looked "incomplete" - glad you did it.

i highly recommend having both front and rear spoliers (any brand really) - car looks way cool with them!!

see you sat.

Can't wait to see your car Saturday. I got home last night and just starred at the car in the garage for about ten minutes with the rear spoiler on it.

Can you notice any handling improvements with both spoilers?
