See whats wierd is that i totally expected this question to go the other way. I kinda though that the little fins being black would make it look too busy. Seeing the responce i may just have to do it black. I mean if it ends up looking like **** i can always go back and paint them red. But you know... if i get that Wings West front, and paint those little fins in the middle black... that just might work.

I had to pull this thread up to make sure I'm not copying off of you Grant! Now I'm just doing the reverse colors (red fins, that section being black, rest of gfx being red)

Edit: Grant, did you install yours already? My dad and I were having one hell of a time figuring out the proper way to install it... We were thinking we'd jack the car up, take the rear wheels off, drill the end of the gfx piece to the car where it's going to go, the work from there to remove the areas that are bowed out, as well as applying the tape or whatever else.

Havent put it in yet. Was waiting for the front lip issue to be resolved then i could do it all at once. But taking the rear wheels off seems like the only way to go about it if you look at the piece. BTW - how much did you pay for that rear skirt?

Buck-fittee. 150. Paid 100 upfront, and $50 in a bit when I get paid again.

When I installed it last night, my dad and I jacked the car up in the rear and took the wheels off. Then we put double sided tape on almost all the areas. Then we started by putting the middle "rake" "lip" thing in the middle of the bumper, then worked our way out from the middle. Then we drilled holes through the wheel well (part of it's metal) and screwed the sucker in place. Then put one screw through each exhaust cutout area, and then two on that piece that is in the "center" where the two holes are. Worst part, don't line up according to that center piece with the two holes, mine was like 2 inches off center haha.
