How can we go about it? I messaged a seller asking if i could purchase an UNPAINTED spoiler and have them paint for $40, and replied back i have to pay for a Painted one, and pay for it to be painted again. Smh what a way to rob people.
So yes Like Killer G once the spoiler arrives what do you want me to then do? Im in the Bronx as well

Bro your car is gorgeous! What would my odds be of getting some good sound out of just adding a 12" Sub, wl Good Amp ? And keeping stock speakers?
Car is going back in 33 months i dont want to do an extensive audio upgrade.
Can i get your honest

A simple sub install is easy. I can do it for ya. You buy the supplies and we will talk. My boy turn around time for painting parts is one day to next. He has the machine to mix the paint properly. It took him 2 days to do my wing cause mine had got damaged sitting in my trunk and he had to do some repairs.

moaar low, how did you remove the chrome trim piece to get to your license plate bulbs? did you just use a small flat head screwdriver and pry it open from one end? does it pop out easily?

You dont need to remove the trim piece to get to the bulbs. Just take the few snaps off the trunk liner and you can undo the bulb housing from the inside. Should be the same as 09-10.

i actually used a combination on my 10. i removed the inner liner, and the cover from the outside. i just pushed the entire housing out of the trunk and let it hang there. stak, if you wanna drive up to jersey sunday evening, i'll do it for you haha. or wait till the following weekend =P

Yes, thats what i did. It doesnt come off as easy as everyone says it will. I used a microfiber cloth to protect the paint and put the flathead inside there. The most difficult side to pop off was the clip furthest to the right. I actually broke a tiny piece of it.

Just do it bro. Start from the end. The 2 midle ones snap off pretty easy. Just pry. It will give way

I did it both ways as well. I still took off the chrome bar, and accessed through the inside of the trunk as well . Let me try and get pis to what the furthest right clip looks like if it helps you anything.

Agh man the Wheel Bug is getting to me. Ive decided to go back into school this upcomming semester and i need to get a "Big" Mod in before my Income gets cut in 1/2.

FML . I dont want to roll and pull fenders, not run a stretched tire. Looking for something DD friendly. Aspecs, RJ Legends Etc. But whatever i opt to run wl id like to sit flush, spacers should correct.

ready to pull the trigger on some wheels. Any opinions?
Or people selling their set up? Im thinkng about pulling the trigger on 19" Legends posted on the black market, and running a 235/35/19 ? Ive seen 245, not a 35, but i think a 35 will look a little better. No?

Also found a set of LM reps staggered 8.5 front 9.5 rear
Any opinions? Im hesitant blc im on stechs so i cant adjust the height.

Dont know how the car will sit ON/WITH either set of rims
Photoshop help? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP !!!

Also ordering my decklid now!

Moar, when you get your spoiler, before you mount it, can you place it up and see how it might fit as a roof spoiler?

thanks guys i went through the trunk liner on the inside. honestly, it's a lot easier to go through the black trim on the 09/10 models. the angle of the housing makes it harder to put back in. anyways it's done...will be taking pics later on. thanks moar and dave as usual.

I didn't gy the roof spoiler as a trunk lip, I got an "OEM SYTLE" So I'm sure there's no way it'll mount as a roof spoiler.

Nope, Plan was to just clean and spray in on. A few coats and call it a day.
Ill keep ya posted tho. Lookin for it again at a few other stores.

Yep thats what i was going to do, and FML bro you got em all from Philly to NY!
And im not sure who said it but someone had posted to use electical tape when masking out the diffuser. Its allows for a smoother line. It bends a lot easier and keeps shape over painters tape.

Yo just some advice when you do your diffuser, you might want a buddy to help you out when you do it. Since you are taking the FLASH dipping approach you are going to have a hard time getting a thick enough coat all around your bumper before the dip dries. And trust me your finger will get tired. lol thats what she said. Also electrical tape does not stick that well when stretched out so be prepared to paint when you lay down your line. I think you will be able to make it look nice though!
