I gotta disagree with most and say that that looks awesome. Its very sleek, and it will improve your high speed acceleration to not have it. Not much, but honestly I think you might actually notice it.

Thats a very nice looking car man.

Looks kind of like a Sunfire from the back without the spoiler, but I guess it grows on you. Mine was off when the car was getting painted, and I thought about the look then. Nice car though! haha

if you have a negative response, DONT POST!

im testing this like every other product that has come to market, i plan on getting another front bumper and filling it in w/ firberglass where the tape is. I know its not neat and perfect, but like i said im testing the areo of the nose.

thanks

I wanna make some clear, flush mount covers for the fog-light hole. I've been thinking about doing a heritage style spoiler. It would have to weigh less and it would look cool.
