It actually looks alot better today I did some touch up on it because you have to cut the ends ( with a razor ) and the sand it to get the perfect shape heres a link to the site but its (white) mine siad it was black but I had to paint it

No close up pics 2 reasons
1 the paint is not great you cant notice it but when you are looking for it you can

2 Im having trouble getting the edges to stick down im thinking I may use a little black caulking or more double sided tape

I may take so close up pics when I am completly satified on how it looks

ON a sort of other topic I found this really nice roof spoiler of an M3 on ebay I wanted to ask you guy for your opion on two
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

1 how do you think it looks

2 How difficult do you think it would be to modify to fit our car

Do you think it is flexible

and do you think its the right width

I think its to curved

So I installed it in side and I hate it , well I like the design but the light is too dim so I went to ebay again and ordered the 120 led light.

Im assuming the same one as fara beast did so im going to have to wait another couple of weeks to get it.

(this is taking way to long)

If you need a really strong putty material get the JB Weld putty. You knead it until the two parts mix then stick it where ever you need it. It sets in 5 mins and is ready for paint in about an hour. Its also sandable.

Looks like this:
