^^^^ Ken, I agree... that looks stellar. Were you coating it in an extra layer of clear? So you had to sand it down?

Also, I am really interested in this spoiler, however I am very worried about scraping. If that happened to something I just paid 600 bucks for, I would lose it....

Can you let me know your thoughts on that matter, Ken?

Had my SS spoiler installed today. Should help tie the black together around the car.

Thanks onzedge.

G2Z thanks. I was expecting the lip to be a finished product ready for install but it was just a raw CF still with rough edges, no clearcoat just resin. The resin was not sanded where it was glued together. It literally needed a full prep. Probably cost another 150-250 to have this professionally done.

The clear I used has UV blocker so I don't expect the CF to yellow anytime soon.

After I let it dry 24hrs or so I will be pulling out my mild polish and 3" orbital to get the super shine. krylon states it dries in 2 hrs.

G2Z- on the thought of scuffing the lip... its bound to happen on any lip. if you do the painting yourself like i did then obviously it will be a lot cheaper to fix it cause you know wat to do and wat paint to use. I don't expect to be scraping mine too often if at all.

Thanks. I actually really enjoyed the process of installing it. Sure there were times that I thought it would never be finished. But now I'm having an even better time driving it.

Thanks Ken, wasn't sure about the placement at first but after studying pictures it's pretty damned close. TI Shift knob should be here Monday, this weekend I'll probably install my 12k HIDs and rev/parking lights from V-Led.

Hadn't wash my car in a week (longest its been so far) since its mostly been raining.

Finally get to it last night...I see some scratches near my door handle. Must be door dings....not happy first real blemish on the Z....one is like an inch and seemed to take the paint off (I know our paint is thin) but it must have been a hell of a swing of their door to do that
