Default Glacier Frost Spoiler Install ***PICS 56K Warning***

All in all, wasn't too bad to do. Took about 2 hours being very, very careful. One touch of advice, when putting the middle bolt on, do not drop it inside the lid. I had to remove the whole trunk lid and flip it upside down to get it out.

Before:



Inner Liner off


Template



Screw Holes Made. I had not rust preventer per instructions, so pumbers putty works just as good.



Finished

That's cool. The mazda 6 is a great car but it just lack of power and bunch problems. The 6 is also a great handle car. I think I can out handle the IS with the 6 if i do a match.

I have to agree that the 6 Handles like its on rails. I think with some decent spring on the car it will make up the difference.

Also remember if I am not mistaken, the IS250AWD power split is like 30front/70 rear ao you are going to get a lot of push from the rear.

Well if you want to see more..... go here:
