It's from my local sponsor NYG Racing. They ordered it from Extreme Dimensions. As for cracking, I would think that it would not survive an impact but most Fiberglas wouldn't. The duraflex has a lot if give in it and is easier to mount than a straight Fiberglas kit.

Got the old stock sport spoiler off finally. Not the easiest thing to do by far! Anyways, sat the Seibon spoiler on there to get an idea of the finished look...

Noticed that the bumper foam reinforcement is very tight against the bumper... and the vented areas are going to be hard to install the mesh with the foam that close. I think I will have to trim the foam back a bit (not remove it entirely) so the grills can go in.

I also plan on painting the kit the stock Black Rose colour with satin black accents throughout. All the inner 'scoop' areas will be sating black along with the traditional paint stylings of the amuse kit. I may need to paint the entire car in the process, especially if I decide to add some custom front fenders too.... The rear hatch will need to be painted where the old spoiler came off and the holes will need to be filled prior to mounting the new wing.

painting the whole car? Correct me if I'm wrong, this whole process could cost almost as much as going FI, right?

Need a bigger (read: Amuse) wing.

zefaulter · 12-31-2013, 09:52 AM

Come to think of it, those wheels are gonna look tiny too

wheee! · 12-31-2013, 11:06 AM

Do you mean the 'storage' wheels? The mounted wheels and tires are my winter rims and tires. I only mount them to store the vehicle.
Normally I run the stock sport rays with Ventus v12 305's and 275's....

But yeah, I need a set of Work Varianza T1S's with bronze barrels and spokes....

You just like to stir the pot!

You know I don't care for the amuse wing and it's window blocking size...!

Don't get me wrong. I think the amuse wing suits the body kit but I hate to lose even more visibility.

Mr&Mrs · 01-13-2014, 08:23 PM

You won't lose much visibility if any. The top of the wing is just about roof height. You look right through it with no problem. If anything the Seibon wing takes away more IMO.
