Here it is...I'm happy with it....

Now if I could just get my Eibach's on, my masterpiece would be complete...

FIRST!

looks very very clean...good job

The first two pictures it looks weird.

The rest of the pictures, mostly the ones from the back it looks real good.

How is it on? 3M double sided tape?

Yeah I agree, it's all in the angles.

Correct, install is only 3M tape. Which is one thing for those of you in cold climates to be aware of. I live in Phoenix and it was probably in the mid 60's yesterday. The bottom (closest to the trunk) strip of tape had a hard time sticking because the wing didn't want to flex. Some time in the sun and a little weight on the wing solved the problem but I couldn't see it working if it was any colder outside.

matches ur spoiler! looks good, and those who were like saying how it would be bad, i dont see how it could, its a minor roof wing... its doesnt look "aftermarket" or anything crazy (rice style)

i think it would look a lil more noticable if your car wasnt black with tinted rear windows...i wanna see it on a white coupe...

[chow]

I was thinking of getting one on my white coupe but, 200$+ for a roof wing??IMO it isnt worth it. Id do it if it were 100$ or somewhere around that

Rather save for the lowering kit.But it does look nice!

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Looks good. Compliments the back very well.

I know this wasn't a negative comment but at the same time, I like that it really just kind of blends in. Makes it look more stock and subtle....not sure if I would want it to be more noticeable....

[Sacky2.5]

i'm not really feeling the roof wing... if you look at the back its like a straight line from the spoiler and then a curved arc from the roof wing.... makes it look kind of goofy IMHO... from the SIDE it looks nice, but from the back it seems like something's off...but i guess to each his own

EDIT: I absolutely LOVE the stillen front bumper lip though... definitely gonna look into that!

[LegendRacer]

id get it if it was cheaper... maybe most car parts are expensive now...500+ for a stillen bumper! thats like 3 weeks of work for me! haha and as a student, my lunch/arcade spendings build up like crazy

if i had extra cash id add this wing, but id get my bumper and exhaust first then il get these smaller add-ons when i have the cash hehe

[cuzzbubba420]

That looks tight man.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Cant justify the bang for the buck yet... maybe in the future... is that the bluebat double layer tail light?

[2brian0]

nope, my tails and headlights aren't bluebat. they are 3m vinyl (thicker and darker than bats) custom done...k, don't want to get off topic....

Why did you tint your windshield 38%? is that actually legal? Doesn't that make it much harder to see at night? I don't understand why you blacked out the ENTIRE car (even windshield) but have polished rims and big shiny cans hanging out the back of the car.... i dunno. Bumper looks good, I'm likin the wing too. I like how the 20's fill up the wheel wells a bit. I can't wait to see what it looks like when its dropped!

as far as the windshield, no it's not legal. i tinted it because i like the dark look and living in phoenix in the summer, every bit helps as far as keeping the car cool. seeing at night actually isn't bad at all but i attribute a lot of that to my h.i.d.'s.

the simple answer as to why i blacked out the entire car is because i like the look. as to my wheels, the only reason i went chrome was because i couldn't find any all black 20's i liked with a +45 offset. i knew i would be lowering the car and the dealer insisted that i needed a +45 to ensure that it didn't rub (i know now i probably could have got away with less). ideally i would have got polished black or black chrome simple 5 spokes. seems funny but my wheels were my one impulse buy of the car. don't get me wrong, i like the way the look but i think i could have done better.

big shiny cans hanging out the back? if your talking about my exhaust, i'm not real sure i've ever seen a black exhaust. kind of stuck with that one....

not sure how to exactly read your post but either way, i love the way my coupe turned out. not blowing my own horn but i think it's one of the most modified coupes on here yet still extremely clean and very unique. just wish eibach would hurry up and get those springs out so i can complete my mods list. maybe in a few years (if i still have it) i'll buy some new wheels...

[prott1]

Hello,

Quick question. What are you talking about when you mentioned a different bulb for the fogs and turn/mirror turn difference. Could you give me part or bulb numbers and where you got them from please...

Thanks, Paul

[2brian0]

there is a whole thread dedicated to this mod. just do a search and you should find it. would do it for you but i'm running out the door right now.

[shift_mikey]

Hey man i don't want you to think i'm down playin your car AT ALL! In the end, "to each, his own."

I have a stillen exhaust and its black :-) I used some high temperature black paint on only the back most facing surface. The tips are still shiney and stainless, and the back of the can is still visible, but its not mirror reflective anymore, it kinda bothered me in the pics i saw.

Really? Can you take some pics of it and post them up. I honestly didn't even think of doing that but now that you mention it, it's got me interested. Curious to know how it holds up too. Keep us posted and post some pics please!

[shift_mikey]

yeah i'll snap some pics next time i pull it out of the garage. I took advantage of when it was new and the wrapping was around the can and the tips, just sprayed the exposed portion. I'll post or e-mail you pics when i take 'em. Its still a little more reflective then i'd prefer, but the high temp black wasn't super flat in color.

[08_blackalti]

yo wats up. i got a sedan on 20's but i want to install the roof wing on ma car, but i dont know if they have it. and ill like to know how much it cost u on ur coupe

[ursus]
