I understood why one might do it, it's just not a mod for me. I only recently stopped kicking emissions related codes so I'd rather not tempt fate for a possible negligible difference.

OR just get an EGR bypass (not a block off) and have a clean manifold and no CELs.

Ha. That was how I accumulated a lot of them a few years ago but since then I don't post nearly as often. It just happens to be dead at the office today and I am bored.

How cheap is cheap?

Ran into some issues where the previous guy that 'welded' my old spoiler holes actually tack welded a backing plate and filled with putty. Which explains my poor painter friend having to redo it three times already with the holes ghosting through every single time.

Getting redone right this time...
Riding dirty much?

You should make a custom lip spoiler to fit your temporary trunk.

LMAO, no, I park there because the lines were drawn by someone that must have been hitting the sauce on the job...totally crooked, in addition, there's this tree that has these HUGE pods that fall and there's one branch that reaches over into this spot with 1 huge one on it. Not on my hood, buddy...not on my clock!



No, I contemplated getting the spoiler molded on, but honestly, I don't like the look. Molded makes it kinda disappear into the trunk. I like the separation of the line so you see that it's a spoiler. Also makes so that I could remove it in the future if I ever want to sell it.

J.

Although I don't foresee that...
