In my area, muffler shop will cost me more than $30 for doing something like this.

This pic is really cool with the clouds and the water on the ground...wish you would have had a bigger puddle for more reflection.

Most deffinatly... I was putting them on a 2012 Silverado with a FabTek Lift and 35's on 22's.



Thanks for covering that one Hogan...

So I test fit the front and rear lip kit while I was playing with the grille yesterday... Nothing fits as well as OEM parts... was kinda impressed how well they line up... and who ever invented the little zip tie mount things those are kinda sweet never seen those done before... Gotta hold off on installing the lip kit till we get a small spot on the bumper fixed that the guy that detailed it at the stealership screwed up when he was blowing it off with an air hose... There was a small spider crack in the paint which wasn't a big deal but he was blowing the water off with an air hose being lazy and not drying it with a chamios and blew some paint off the bumper... so first of the year it's going back to get the bumper touched up (They are paying for it) then I can put the lip kit on... But sooner than that the other two mystery boxes will be going on it...

Okay Drilled the first two holes in the 4G today, Measure twice drill the pilot hole once then step up 4 bits till it's the right size... Step one was to pull the inner carpet cover off the trunk lid. Pulled a couple of push pics and the two rubber strips and folded it down.

Step two was to test fit the spiler and get it centered with the templates taped over the recessed nuts in the underside of it once I got it centered I taped the templates to the trunk and removed the spoiler. now it's time to Center Punch and Drill...

Drilled a small piolet hole then slowly stepped up a size or two at a time till I had the correct size for the bolts... Then Cleaned with Rubbing Alcohol and a Paper Towel to get the surface clean...

Peeled back the 5 strips of 3m 2 sided tape just enough to where the folded out from the edges of the underside. Placed spoiler on and started the two screws to line it up then pulled the rest of the red 3m tape cover off and stuck the spoiler and tightened the two screws and done deal... Then put the inner carpet panel back on and closed the trunk...

One more small box to go before the lip kit, this one isn't so much for looks as it is for the fact her work parking lot is totally insane and the parking spots are too small and there's close to 6000 employees so parking in BFE doesn't even keep your doors safe...
