i was tryina figure out what u meant by trimming it cause it sat 1/2inch offthe top and i looked up more pics of it.. so the sarona doesnt actually sit flush from the roof, but a little thicker. hmm

was shaving material off the back a lot of work? or was it somethin easy how much was the tool btw?

THANKS!

the tool worked very well for shaving it down took about an hour to do. test fitting it every so often until i achieved the look i was going for. the tool=Stanley 21-399 6-Inch Surform Pocket Plane under $10 at Home Depot.

Maya are some ball'n wheels, I'm just not a fan of their lineup. Don't get me wrong though, your whip is top notch!

i got a question for all u guys.. sorry if im kinda hijackin your thread.

what if you kept the roof spoiler white but you did your roof black.. would it look weird? would it look better if the spoiler was black too? im in the process of gettin my roof black and the sarona spoiler. dont know if i want it black or white though.

nm i photoshopped it and it needs to be black.. black roof goes with black windows and then you'd have a white spoiler out of no where.

answered my own question lol

Ahhh you sure that is the Base TL A-Spec front lip on the car? It looks a lot like the Type-S A-Spec front lip that is supposed to be on the car. Does not look anything like the Base TL A-Spec. What am I missing?

THANK BRO not hard at all you just need to find a good shop that knows what they are doing. oh yea and MONEY!

ac08odl......i had the wing painted along with a few other things price was more but if i had to guess for just the wing no more than $100

bbktl......the tool, a Stanley 21-399 6-Inch Surform Pocket Plane about $7
