Default Barely made it to the post office...

To pick up my CF Roof Spoiler from Taiwan!
I walked in at 5:29 when they were closing at 5:30.
I know, I'll probably get flamed for getting a replica Jun-TW CF roof spoiler, but I ordered it off eBay for $210 shipped and fitment was perfect, was nice and flat, just bought 3M Automotive Molding Tape and slapped that sucker on! Nicely matches the front Fabulous CF Front Lip.
















Haven't posted any pictures yet of the wheels with the 15mm and 20mm spacers I got. I think I could've done a 25 mm spacer in the rear. Oh wells, to hold me over until I get the BBS wheels.






I won't lie, seeing where Javy posted his CL sticker, I just had to follow!



haha

And lastly, a picture of my mom's new baby!

Looks great. Spacers look good too, I need to get some and thanks to you I'll get 25 rears. You think 15F 25R is good or should I go 20F 25R, I'll be dropped on Tein S. Techs..

Thanks for all the comments guys! Cleaning up the garage right now so my mom can get in and out of her car without climbing through the passenger door...hahahaha
I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow. It's sort of shaped weird though, but I think the Jun-TW itself is like that too. I had to get the sides to touch the roof, and then the middle area dipped out a bit and was flush with the window. It's hard to explain, but it doesn't perfectly follow the curve of the roof.

20F is hella aggressive! I would just stick with 15F and 25R. I'm sort of glad I went with 20R because having a spacer that large might cause premature bearing damage in the rear, but for looks, 25R would be PERFECT!!

Thanks!
Also, if you put the tape on the outer perimeter of the underside of the spoiler, you will see it from the back passenger seat. I put a strip along the middle of the spoiler and it sticks fine and you can't see it.
