Beautiful SSM TL! That is a lot of work done in a short amount of time. Nice to see another TL on 20s that actually looks good.

Definitely one of the nicest TL's to bless this board. Sweet ride man. Rollin' on dubs must be a biatch in NJ though, but I guess that is the price to pay to be a pimp.

I like the carbon fiber spoiler, but the fit isnt clean enough for me...
Take a look at this picture, you see how much it flails off teh side of the car, I like the contrast the lip gives, but I'm going to take my OEM style lip spoiler and apply carbon fiber around it, and see if I can get a cleaner look, without the spoiler looking that it is unattached in certain places...
The second photo is shows best what I'm talking about, I believe the 3 series spoiler should fit a little bit better, since the rear sort of tightens up at the top of the trunk.

So what is wrong with the spoiler going over the sides? The stock factory spoiler does that. I know the flush mount doesn't but the other one does. I think it gives it a good look. It's all good.

I just dont like how it is unattached at certain parts, its a decklid spoiler, it should be flush with the rear of the vehicle, I think it would look nice if it went out wider past the trunk lines, but it would have to seperate so that it could stay flush with car and you could open your drunk, so instead of one piece, you would have 3 pieces... understand what i mean?
Personally, I am just covering one of the OEM type decklid spoilers with carbon fiber, that way I dont have to worry about it not being flush against the trunk..

I hear you. Yeah i was kind of pissed that the trunk and the body weren't flush. As you can see in the pics. I even tryed to adjust the trunk stoppers to make it sit a little higher but it didn't work.

Well finally got everything done to the car. I should have the rest of the pics of the interior later this week. I also started on the new project for the car. You can read it in my avatar.
