Yeah that spoiler in white looks hot! We should plan a NE meet whenever your car is finished.

Yea we should it would be a nice change from always going to mitsu meets

Well I'm happy you guys approve everyone kept telling me to go with a black spoiler but it stands out some much more with it in white makes it look like the roof was all glass...

I wonder if a SMG Roof spoiler would look good, since it would be lighter then the black roof top...

That turned out pretty neat. IMO, if you black out those chrome window trim.. your car will look hotter!
