Yes I know they stand out lol BECAUSE RACECAR....they're starting to grow on me. I understand the whole paint them black idea. I am tempted to spray paint them blue as ed said. Honestly the front of the car is the only place I have colour lol. I was not expecting that lower grille placement to look good tbh

If they were smaller, they wouldn't sound as loud me thinks. 4 horns is just bad.

But Wait!

There's More!

Mr. NC

So that other mystery box came in a week ago and when I saw it I knew something was up LOL



Now I'm sure most of you know I've tried the m5 roof spoiler route which didn't fit go figure and I have a blatant distaste for the ski jump roof spoiler. (No offense to anyone who has it on the forum) I just think it doesn't flow with the back of the car. Having said that what you are looking above is the PROJECT 10K spoiler. The priciest one so far available thats available stateside anywayz. I was expecting frp or fiberglass but when I saw that shit I started to have doubts. I took it to my paint guy and he said that since its a hard rubber (think hockey pucks) but obviously more malleable, the wing would sag on the paint prep bench thing or w/e which would mean the spoiler would cause the paint to crack. He said something about it having too much flex paint( not sure of proper term). So I am now stuck here with a spoiler thats unpaintable. I'm going to contact the seller to see what's up. If you guys have had experience in this holla at cha boy.

Some random fitment pics I took today just to see...what coulda been.



Obviously it's not held down by 3m so don't go telling me it doesn't fit lol...The fitment was SOOOO GOOOD TOOO WHAT THE FAAAAAAAAACK

ssjoeboe9

Hey, my paint guy kinda said the same thing to me about it flexing and causing the paint to crack... but he said that if I attempted it by myself then that would happen. He assured me though that his shop could do it correctly without cracking, talked about having the piece painted with a specialty base coat thats more flexible and painting in the correct temperature etc etc... This is why when I got quoted $250 for my lip I was hesitant but I know my guy will do a great job and when it's all said and done it will be correct.

My advice for now. Heat up your spoiler and shape it to almost perfection before it gets painted that way there will be minimum flexing and bending when trying to install it.

Mr. NC

It's as flat as it'll go but it's still flexes. The seller said flex paint/polyurethane paint for it. My paint guy mentioned that also and he said no guarantees. One suggestion was that the spoiler gets mounted to the window and it gets painted on there so there's no chance it will sag or crack or w/e. Seems like alotta trouble tho. Or he suggested I just spray paint it black...yuck...I gotta decide eventually. This car yo...unmoddable lol going to trade it in for a Scion FR-S

Thats the project 10k spoiler??? That was on my list to buy for upcoming mods...

wtf...never knew the project10k spoiler was FLEX like that...bro that sucks. there's no way for it to hold its form right?

ssjoeboe9

Ehhh I would just go for it... Get it paint matched and hope for the best.

PyroDave

Stak, it's from Brooklyn, why don't you go and check it out before you actually get it, they even put it on Craigslist for $150

Mr. NC

Yeah this is the Project 10k spoiler. I thought I'd give it a try cuz noone else has it on. But for $150+ I was like WTF I didn't expect this.

This would be my 2nd attempt at a roof spoiler, I don't think it was meant to be lolololol.

The ebay seller told me that flexing is a concern that many buyers have with this wing apparently. They mount it then mask it then paint it. This is proly going to be complicated and cost me money. I'll talk to my paint guy if he's down. I am praying to the almighty Jesus that if I do this and have it mounted that the 3m will make it keep form.

dave i know they're located in brooklyn. just had no idea it was made like that. i'm severely turned off by it. thought about it but now that i see this...

ed_423

cf vinyl wrap and call it a day?

Mr. NC

Totally didn't think of wrapping it but you know I'm against wrapping shit to make it look different. IF I wanted CF I'd get fuckin CF dammit LOL.

ssjoeboe9

Dude just bend it into the correct shape. I don't understand whats going on?!

Mr. NC

It's too flexible apparently, the paint would just crack after it gets painted since that wouldn't stop it from moving. The amount of base prep paint or w.e. it's called is too much too. Like I said I need to speak to my paint guy again. I have a Project 10k roofspoiler just chilling on my bedroom floor NBD

Mr. NC

THE DOWNFORCE IS INSANE

ssjoeboe9

Hahaha I love that u wrapped it after u complained so much. It does look good though!

opboarding

Im going to need a far away shot or twelve.

Mr. NC

Haha yeah I really wanted colour matched but since we dont(can't) use Polyurethane paint in Canada, water based paint would just crack on it since its so flexible. I did not wanna plastidip that, so that left me with vinyl. Used 3m 1080 scotchbrite or w/e its called, looks different from 3m Di-Noc. Real easy to use and it turned out ok.

As far as fitment is concerned, my shop guy did a great job making it bend to the contours of the windshield. No gaps on either side, it's literally "perfect"

No faraway pics atm, I'm just relieved it's finally on, this spoiler took waaaaaay too long. Then again I think every mod I did on this car got delayed in someway or another

ssjoeboe9

Nice, I'm glad you got it installed. Now for the next 3 weeks every time you walk up to your car thats what you will be looking at lol.

I really need to finish my spoiler haha.

Mr. NC

I already am lol...altho I will forever hate CU2Mike for somehow getting an M5 spoiler to fit the TSX cuz I really liked the shape of that spoiler haha.

defconskylude

looks good man. my roof spoiler is also wrapped in cf vinyl

Slade037

I am glad you got it to work for you though dude! Way to keep at it and not let it keep you down! Sweet wrap job and can't wait to see more angles!

Maybe CF your roof next to keep the flow? Might not suck

HondoGermany

I like it,
maybe I try it on my PWP. I´m not sure how it flows with my CF vinyled roof and the black window tint?

Slade037

I think it'll look nice Hondo! That is the plan for me on my BWP. Except it'll be wrapped in flat black instead of CF.

Mr. NC

Yeah end of season hi res pics coming eventually

The wrap job didn't take too long surprisingly enough which was good. I'm not sure bout the CF roof altho I like the contrast as is.

I think it would look good on yours Hondo! you got a good black and white theme going
Even on my black tint, the CF wrap stands out but not overly so which is what I like

ed_423

crew approved.

Slade037

Any moar pix?

Mr. NC

No seksi pix yet. But I will get it done b4 the end of season after the prewinter clay/wax date cuz old man winter be creeping in...YUCK....

jab6021

What type of lights did you use for the led taillights?

Mr. NC

I don't have them installed anymore because LED replacement bulbs used in this application just aren't bright enough as stock OEM bulbs safety 1st! Having said that I used 7440 SMD LED (40 bulb type proly?) They are the same ones used in my reverse lights tho.

ACCURATEin
