Like Bill, I couldn't open the attachments.
No chores here, either. My "weekend" is Wed & Thurs.
I'll post pics of my new spoiler soon to see what everybody thinks.

I like putting it down below the bumper. Mine is in about the same place, but I have no attachment bolts. I used some heavy duty velcro straps to attach the bracket.

Things About the Shaker:
* I've driven to work the last 2 days in heavy, heavy downpours. Bill, you would have had several heart attacks. But that's what I like about white... the car still looks clean! Anyway, none of this rain bothered the car and I'm sure it had to be sucking some into the scoop.
* I have noticed some performance improvement. Not during normal driving, but under hard acceleration. I enter onto the turnpike each night on a long acceleration lane. I always pull the car hard in 2nd gear, but now when I shift to 3rd, it pulls just as hard in 3rd as it does in 2nd. I could easily be over 100 MPH by the time I'm on the turnpike, but I back off at about 85 and coast back to 75 or so and set the cruise. I love when people move over to the left lane for me, but then realize that I'm now WAY ahead of them, so they move back over to the right lane.

Shaker update:
$30 and a 1 hump hose later, it looks like I'm finally complete!
I may at some point replace the rubber coupler (sleeve) on the lower duct that I cut and shortened with a similar back silicone coupler. Because it's so short on the grip area (for the hose clamps), it may pop apart. The silicone coupler seem to grip the duct and hose clamps tighter. Ahh, but that's later on, I'm tired of working on and tweaking the Shaker ducts.
Here's some pics of the complete system.

3rd brakelight overlay install
I just installed my custom overlay decal from custombrakelights. He can put pretty much whatever name or message you want on it.
Installation
* I taped off the area of the brakelight with a rag (to catch the application fluid).. Hey, I just Zaino'd it!
* Next, I wiped down the brakelight lens with alcohol.
* I peeled the 'white' backing off the decal, careful not to touch the adhesive backing.
* I sprayed the lens area so the decal won't stick to it (Had some left over vinyl application spray from when I did the stripes).
* I floated the decal into place and used a squeegie (center out) to lay it flat in place and get the water out.
* Once tacked on there, I carefully peeled the top clear protective cover off the decal.
* I let it sit for several minutes until all the liquid evaporated and gently folded the decal edges over the lens. Some areas around the corners will crease up, but it so tiny it won't really matter.
That's it! 5 minutes top (plus drying time)!
And yes, it is BRIGHT!
btw- I tried to think about some cool, non-agressive message, but this is all I can come up with! The Police will love me for sure.

I put the hose clamps back on and they seem to be holding. I also ran the engine and hit it to several 5-6k rpms blasts (torquing the engine) to see if the clamps will fail, but so far so good.
I don't mind the look of the clamps, just as long as all the turn screws are even and aligned.

Tip: When ordering, better specify lowercase or UPPERCASE on your message. And if you want the 'GT' in logo form (like mine), better specify that too.
EVERYONE !!
