lol I see you took it to a shop! Chicken!! haha How have things been man? You seen my dyno of the intake I posted last week. Not too impressive, but wish I could have a way to dyno the lower rpms cause that is where I really feel the gain. We should meet up sometime since we both live in VA.

Yeap, def. I was being chicken, but same time, my friend helped me out putting it on his friend's shop at free of charge
But, I saw your dyno result. Not too bad just for an intake tho.
Our car ROCKS!!

I got that spoiler too... but I didnt have it installed like that...

On the back of the spoiler, it has 3 inbeaded bolts. I removed the bolts by prying them out (It doesnt effect the spoiler). Then added a few more pieces of heavy duty all weather double tape, plus the tape that was already on there.

I installed flawlessly. Looks like it came from the dealer like this. I yanked on it pretty hard a few times... That sucker is not coming off.

can you please take the picture of your installation and post it for us to see. I have the spoiler but I totally resist the idea of drilling holes on my baby. lol. And I am thinking about doing just that. However, I am afraid that the installation might shows some gap btw trunk and the spoiler itself. A close up picture would be really helpful!

Thanks!

No problem. I will try to get that done tonight and post pictures.

The key is laying it down slowly and accurately. The heavy duty double tape I used is super strong... once it touches, its pretty much on there, so I had to be carefull.

I really like that spoiler, just not sure i want to lay down the extra cash on a leased car! but it is sooooo sweet! maybe i can get some heavy duty velcro, and put it on like that...THEN, when my lease is up, i'll just get another IS (has to be the same color i guess) and velcro it to that!!! problem solved!
