Default Some changes to the SS [UPDATED]

So I've made some changes to the SS. Now just waiting on that dam CME to get rid of this ugly exhaust (which is bypassed ) and get some paint on it.

Pics removed.

Love it or Hate it I really like it, looks even better in person.

Plus the CME will make the rear flow better. Those tips are jacking it all up.

It looks odd in picture because the spoiler looks flat when in reality it curves with the rear of the cars curvature, Im sure u knew that lol but here are some before i slapped on hood. Quality sucks, ill whip out the DSLR later.

It's nice but everyone has it plus this spoiler is actually functional. I'll see if anyone's opinion changes after I slap on the CME, paint it, get some nice shots and drop it a little more!!

Thanks for the all the feedback.

But I have a feeling once Im done with it and get some "actual" good pictures I can change a few peoples minds about that spoiler lol. Bad part is aside from the Heritage cars you cant find any actual cars that really look good with it. Just about all cars Ive seen with it are jacked up high and have shitty wheels and ground effect kits.

yea probably stay black, it came that way when I bought it. The tails are actually blacked out LED tails, they look pretty good at night.

im staying N/A for now but if I ever go power adder prob be a single turbo or something.
