you? cluttering my thread? heck no! your welcome here anytime buddyabout the header.. It's actually the next thing in the list, JR header matched w/ roadster sport cat converter, and exhaust. then oil cooler then Kaaz lsd then an mp62 supercharger. after that the car is complete..
ps: I want a bikini top too from Project G too, then it's finish.
After the paint job was done, I end up staring at my autokonexion CF trunk spoiler.. now that it's painted I realized how much unflush the thing is. When it was still naked CF it was not noticeable, but now it sticks out like a sore thumb and the gaps don't line up properly. I decided it's time to part ways w/ it and go back to an oem trunk and a lip of my choosing. so off to the for sale section it went and sure enough one of the local guys picked it up for $200 and trading his trunk. which I think was a fair deal.
after all that was done I went online to shop for a wing, and even looked around at some KINOD meets to see the actual products. I ended up w/ this:

Why not the more JDM piece KG works? because it looks too wide in my opinion and I've heard reviews of the extra piece that sticks outside the trunk rubs onto the body. With my car being black. I cant afford something rubbing and leaving a scratch to the clear coat.Last but not least I hate the grooves at the lower parts where your suppose to put rivets on, making the piece look like a foreign object and not something that came w/ the car.
here are the final product painted and installed:
