I like the little chrome strip on the front bumper. Spoiler looks good too. You should try to get the cheome lip on the rear paint matched IMO....then you can be done. Otherwise great job

I have a spare chrome trunk lip if you want to experiment with wrapping or painting it, you're welcome to it if you want.

I bought a color matched one off the classifieds that someone had never mounted. I wrapped the trunk release button with gloss vinyl. Looks way better than the OE chrome lip, but not as sporty as the spoiler. I dunno exactly why, but I didn't want to get a spoiler

The color matched lip does look good!

That was my plan all along, just happened that the car I bought already had the OEM spoiler

That looks nice and clean. You may want to keep the original for when you sell the car. The new owner may or may not want to leave it on - you keeping it gives him/her options to help the sale move along.


Cheers

Interesting in that I was in LA yesterday (Woodland Hills to be exact) and I saw two LP Sedans in the same 30 minute period, one with the aftermarket spoiler discussed here and another with the OEM spoiler. I was trying to follow each and decide which I liked the best, but of course LA traffic doesn't support this type of activity all that well. I have not seen a sedan here in San Diego with a Spoiler of any kind for years, and I am always checking. This is definitely something unique in these parts.

If you're ever in the San Gabriel Valley or DTLA, there are a lot of G sedans with slight mods. I see a bunch with the OEM duckbill spoiler, but haven't really been out to any meets yet to get to know people.

San Diego is the land of base model Journey lease models.

Few even have the Sport Package. LA and OC seems to be the home of more auto enthusiast for sure.

Most people here find it odd that I wash my own car every weekend.
