it doesnt seem to have a seperate piece for the spoiler but the rear bumper stripes seem to be a bit long. perhaps when cut onto the bumper the remaining pice is for the spoiler? im not too sure. i bet you can have the guy who installs them cut a seperate piece for the spoiler if not tho. couldnt be more than 30 bucks i bet

94tbird thanks for the info!

You can get very similar results using Meguiars NXT. It's available locally and is cheap. Remember to prep the paint well beforehand. I usually wash the car with dawn, then clay. I then apply a polish and then NXT.

I did two coats of zaino the other day, wow I love how it makes the car feel, so smooth.
here are two pictures of my stripes before and after.
and two others.
the pictures do not do my car justice since its white but in person it has such a nice deep shine, reflects well.

Wow that Zaino stuff works great on the stripes too. I will be getting the black stripes. My car is the satin silver. If the person who was asking about having the stripes done cant find a body guy to do it also try a sign guy. Those guys do that stuff all the time as well. TY for the info again tbird!

Try some NXT, you will get the exact same results. Meguairs has a new sythetic sealant that should be hitting the streets soon that's supposed to be real good. I believe it's called #21(Professional). Not trying to start an arguement, but IMO Zaino is popular because of the internet hype behind it. You would be suprised how many guys use Zaino or other products @ Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

oh yeah im sure there are prolly similar producs as well as possibly better, lesser known ones as well. i was jsut sayin that ive used meguires before, prolly not their top of the line stuff either, but i found zaino to be better. id have to do a comaparision somehow but until then zaino it is

Did you clay bar the finish before you applied the Zaino?

i started to yeah and it wasnt picking ANYTHING up at all. i tested hood roof doors and finally gave up. i really havent driven her much at all. and she was delivered via convoy carrir on the top deck the whole way so she hardly got dirty at all. after using the claybar with it not doing much i jsut waxed away.
