Nice, looks like the rear trunk spoiler is painted version of the chrome lip. Look forward to seeing pics after the install,

Interested in how the roof spoiler fits. That's the one from Ebay, correct?

that's also correct. It was cheap enough that if I don't like it, it's not too bad of a loss. I also got the front lip for an incredible price.

looking forward to seeing this installed, I have a graphite shadow sport as well. PM me details on the incredible price for the lip if the deal is still available?

I've been looking at one of those myself. Definitely keep us posted on how it fits and looks.

On your MW Sedan, would you paint said roof spoiler gloss black, or MW?

I've been debating that back and forth also. Gloss black would be more subtle against the glass. Not sure if I may even get it. It seemed like a good deal just to try though.

There is no "also", Sniper. I was just asking what you would do, because I was guessing it was a choice you were considering. Since your rear window is tinted black (yes?), and you have that gloss black diffuser going on, I could see the argument for gloss black on the roof spoiler.

But I don't want this thing on my car. It seems to work better (IMO) on a dark car. In any event, I gave it due consideration on my last car, and on this car, and came away with the same opinion on each.

Be careful not to over-tighten the nuts when you reinstall the trunk finisher. After I vinyled mine, I noticed that the gap on the top between the trunk and finisher was too large so I thought I just needed to tighten it more. Well, I managed to somehow tighten it past the threads on the bolt and now the nut won't catch when I try to loosen it. So, I still have the gap but now I can no longer remove the finisher. I had to fill the gap with weather strip to keep the water out of my reverse lights. It looks amateurish up close which obviously I hate. I'm sure a trip to a shop could remedy this.....that will likely be in my future.

I've got a chrome finisher if you're interested, no hole for camera though. PM me if you want it.
