Default Spoiler Added.

Well, I did it.

After spending a little time painting the Spoiler I finnaly fitted it myself.
All in all, it cost me about $65 - $70.
I had to buy the paint and the appropriate drill bit for the job.

Fitting it wasnt to bad actualy. It was harder getting it all lined up and straight.
Lucky for me, I found some of those platstic thingies that you get with the spoiler in the box. I used a hammer and nail to mark where the holes needed to be and also make a 'dimple' so the drill bit was less likely to slip.
The only issue I had was that two of the screw holes are locted under the reinforced metalwork that holds the bracket for the trunk lift arms.
That was fun to work around. Ill have to take it all off and get some photos of the "solution" LOL

Now all Im missing is the light for the spoiler. I made sure I ran the wire guide and secured the other end so it doesnt dissapear into the spoiler and leave me confused and pissed off.... LOL
Im planning on a short Neon for the underside light and possibly making prevision for some fiber lighting on the tips to give of a glow between the ends of the spoiler and the car body.

That does look pretty good. Just different enough to have people wondering what it is you did. I like that kind of stuff.

Hehe. I have to find the lights.
Then install them.
The break light is kinda easy since it has been preped. Ill probably go to a scrap yard or dealer and find the insert for it. OR use a short neon tube and 'rig' it myself. But would a neon stand upto the same punishment as a regular bulb?. (for $10 a peice, do I care?)

I did stumble upon a cheap interior illumination option at compUSA of all places.
They do a twin blue or UV light system. I think its a pair of 20" sticks all wired and ready for 12volts.
I think that runs at $20.
Also Then they stock something by a company called MadDog which is basicaly the same. But you get 1 stick instead of 2.
they also come in blue or UV. Except these run at $7 each.
Dunno what the light output is though. But they could be a nice option for interior work.

Next up is the exhaust piping. Taking it upto 2.5" back to the 2.5" muffler.

Then its underbody lighting. Im probably going with Aqua, since its not as likely to get me 'Busted' as Blue.
