I have the OEM lip spoiler that I got from thespoilerstore but for some reason it looks bowed a little so it doesnt sit flush on the trunk. Is this normal or should I try to work it back to shape by bending it a little? idk. But I also have a badgeless garnish on the way. Dont tell me to go moar low, cause I plan on it already. I'm saving up for coils now.

Another question... how long should I leave the trunk alone before I try to install the lip spoiler. I dont want to mess up the paint in case I decide to remove the lip in the future..

looks good. I honestly wouldnt do the lip spoiler unless you remove the roof lip... I've just never liked the combo of roof lip and hatch lip

Okay then I'll just hold onto it till I remove the window spoiler. My badgeless garnish is suppose to be delivered today so I'll have new pics up by this evening.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Did you buy a new trunk or did you just remove the spoiler and cover the holes up? I also want to get rid of the pedestal spoiler.

I had the spoiler removed and holes patched by a body shop. The place that installed my pedestal spoiler did a horrible job painting the trunk and paint was flaking off so it needed new paint anyway. I like it a LOT better now.

Yeah I like it a lot better now too. Looks super clean. How much did the body shop charge you for this?

Badgeless garnish installed today. Should I black out the TBL or get a colormatch sticker to go over it? Kinda stands out... lol

I agree with X Batman X on this one. Car looks nice and clean. I had tinted mines and it makes everything blend in since mines is a BSP. I took the tints off and the car just looks clean without it. I just need to get rid of the damn spoiler now. Lol.
