I liked your car better with the body kit. I don't know why, I usually don't care for the kit.

Looks good before and after. I love how you did the whistler mod but SOM. Looks sick

Would you possibly let the spoiler loose?

As a participant in helping you remove said GFX and co-proprietor in the idea I say.....Way to go Matt!! Looks good, and will only look 105050153103501x better once you have your CME, hood, and spoiler on.

I liked the kit before, just by itself, but his long term ideas made me wonder if the VFN hood/SS spoiler/CME combo would mesh well with the kit, and we came to the conclusion that no it wouldn't.

Now that the clips are gone we need to get it all cleaned up and some better after shots for the comparo. Which will be even better now that your CME gets painted and installed tomorrow!!

I was hoping you took the Spoiler off too.. I'm getting an SS Spoiler and ditching the RS 3 Piece, I went out just to tinker with the car, took the 3 bolts off, but they must use some damn sticky glue on those suckers cause I couldn't get them off.. any ideas?

I just finally got all those brackets off my car yesterday. I bought a z spoiler and just tacked the other three holes in quarter panels. This is how mine turned out.

I just got one side off messing with it, I had to pull hard as hell to get it off... I was disappointed, the holes are HUGE. Any ideas how to fill these besides taking it to a body shop?

^go look up the write up on shaving the antenna hole (i think its in the appearance hall of fame). should follow the same guidlines to fill those. i had the body shop do mine when i got it repainted, you'd never know i had that spoiler there.

Have you filled the holes after taking the GFX off? I took mine off a while back, but I havent been able to do something about those holes. Don't really have the extra cash to take it to a shop. Any write up out there? Tips by some of you guys who have done it? Let me know. I'm planning to take my RS Wing off, and selling it. What are the odds of someone trading it for an SS wing? I'll throw in some cash on top.

Default Filling th gfx holes??

I know this thread is old. But what did you use to fill the holes on the rocker panels? do they have to be tacked to avoid rust or can you use a filler?

I had the holes on my rocker/quarter panels welded shut and then panels repainted by my local bodyshop.


Set me back $1,600

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to rip off my gfx it makes it look like an import tuner. It takes away from the way the body curves at the bottom of the car that gives it the muscle car look .

I go back and forth with the body kit. Some cars look good with them and others dont. not sure what makes the difference
