Yeah I'm not too keen on its operation. Seems to spin out of balance and the size makes it uncomfortable to use.
Oh and my spoiler is the 3 piece Roush. If it didn't come on the car I probably would have bought it anyways.

What do you guys think of these for my car? I've always loved the FR500 wheels and Cruizinconcepts is getting them in matte black 20" staggered. The 20" Roush black chrome wheels or these may be replacing the RTR's. Or she might just have a few different pairs of shoes lol.

Again, it's my opinion, and prolly not worth much. But I live silver or gunmetal rims.... and I LOVE your RTR rims. Did I say that 2x already??? LOL

I know what you mean... I've been blessed her with 50 degree weather for Iowa.... in fact, I'm driving her all week. Who would have thunk... 50 degs in January. That's crazy. One of the reasons I was able to do my springs now instead of later this spring season. I may not have to shut off my insurance at all. No snow on the ground, no salt on the ground. CRAZY!

Here's a little history of Sexy#2: She sat on the car lot for a little over a year before I adopted her. Her grill has always been an issue with odd spots, no matter what I did. With some tips from Burton "FromZto5" she's looking good as new again. Here's some before and after pics.
For those of you with nasty spots on your billet grill after the wash this is what I did:
Clean the grill
Mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water in a water bottle
Use a soft cloth and vinegar/water solution to clean grill
Let it dry
Use an aluminum polish (I used Mothers) and apply until cloth turns black
Buff off with a microfiber cloth
It's not 100% but it's a 1,000 times better than it was before.

That looks GREAT man! Did the vinegar solution and polish help good? It looks like it! Why'd you go with 3:1 solution? try 1:1... the vinegar eats up the mineral deposits. The polish will smooth it out and finish up any remaining. What polish did you use? Make sure you use a very FINE polish.... like a finishing polish, or like an all in one.
Your grille looks bada$$. I like it. Love your car, man.
btw, how do you like your JLT cai? Did it require a tune?

Yes I love the JLT CAI. It does require a tune and I'm running the Bama 93 performance tune. I didn't think a cai was necessary for a long time until I rode in my buddies car (way2qk4u2c) with same tune and his pulled a lot harder than mine. I personally can tell a big difference with and without a cai on a tune. Huge gains on the butt dyno.

Thanks man! I wasn't sure how much to use so I experimented a little until it started working. Once it did I took the grill out to avoid any damage to the paint. I probably could've used straight vinegar but when it started working I just let it be...plus it stunk lol. I used Mothers aluminum wheel polish, it states that it works with all metals on the tub and it worked well.

I’ve bought a few cars at Rod Baker…used to live in Plainfield until my wife became disabled and we had to sell our house and move west a few towns…miss my old town…when we built there in 1993 it was this little small town with about 6000 people and when we left in 2007 it had grown to almost 40,000…
