Yes, I bought it from CJ parts during their sale. The paint is top quality, I was surprised. Perfect match.

Thanks for the compliments, the fit was quite perfect. I'm not sure if there's any guarantee on the paint, but I was very impressed with the quality of the paint job. From my understanding they (3dcarbon) paint all the stuff either themselves or they have a specific shop they deal with.

The holes lined up perfectly, if you have the standard lip spoiler you'll have no issues with the holes. With the pedestal spoiler you would have to make new holes and fill the ones not used. I have a few pics during the install I took with my phone so they're not so great. I'll see if I post them.

I used the fishing line trick I learned from these forums, I bought a heat gun just for this mod and it worked wonders and I used some trim removal tools that helped tons too.

I took some videos with my new HD camera I bought specifically to video the mufflers, I'll see if I upload them to youtube this weekend.

****...and the HIDs look SO much better with the tint. You should get the smoke/clear sidemarker lights too!

Man, I’ve gotta get a GT500 rear spoiler for my car. Fishing line and a heat gun? Maybe I better let the dealer install it for me.

I swear front plates ruin the S197 front ends more than any other car on the road

Looks great. What's next? Are you considering window tint or lowering springs?

Thanks guys. The rear spoiler install isn't bad to do yourself, I can give you some help if you need. Just PM me and I'll even guide you over the phone.

Next I'd like to do the rear gt500 apron to complete the look in the back, and eventually maybe in the summer do the lowering springs with dampers and shocks.

Unfortunately in this state they require front plates but the good thing is my car doesn't have any holes drilled since I got it in PA where they don't require plates. I ended up getting the plate frame from some guy who designed them himself he has a website I can't think of right now but it's quite easy to take off if you need to clean the car or just want the look.

U should just be a renegade like me and not put a front plate on in jersey......lol. I really really like that wing. What was the heat gun and stuff for. Is the stock wing connected on there with more than just the bolts? Looks good!

Yeah, I know a few people who drive around with no front plates and never get stopped or bothered but with my luck I'll get popped driving through every town.

The wing attaches with 4 bolts and has double sided tape, but you also have to use a bonding agent.

More like sealed, it has double sided tape and you use the bondo to make a seal so water doesn't go through the holes and into the trunk.
