Default BSP w/ Seibon wing, with pics.

Well after having the spoiler for a month collecting dust in my room, I decided to finally install it . It took about 45 min to do w/ a little bit of modding and some help from the old lady.
*Note* that these wings dont come with 3m tape like the oem ones do, so installed my own.
I've only seen these C/F spoilers on other colored 2nd gens, and I think it complements the BSP's beautifuly & I think I'm in love with my car again So if you have BSP w/ a Seibon throw it up here!
* Next stop, Tanbe nf210, rims, five axis, & slotted rotors.*

Before



Way After

Yeah, I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to my first new car so I wash once every week and a 1/2 and auto detail every 2 days. I work near farms so it gets dusty quick

Looks dope man...I may have to splurge and get this down the road. Thanks for posting pics, I have always wondered what it would look like on BSP.

I'm not a 100% sure if it's clear coat, it looks way too thick, possibly a clear resin? but never the least, it looks like quality work.

its a great finish and it looks awesome, but that gel coating they have on there will eventually oxidize and have weird gray spots and spread all over your spoiler. I live in hawaii and with the moisture, sun, and salt air, carbon fiber dont last more than 3 years usually before you start to see those effects. you should really think about wet sanding that finish off and clear coating a few times. looks nice, clean ride

Yeah, i figured it would, I'm in a coastal community so it's eventually gonna happen to me to. So would you have to sand thru all that gel coat or just etch the surface? Thanks for the advice homie

U definitely do NOT want to sand all the way through. Just sand it down till u see an even white haze, just enough so the clear has something to "bite" to. Good luck with ur paint jobs! And while ur at it, depending what color car u have u may as well do something fun and unique with ur hood or any cf parts.
