wisdom teeth surgery wasn't so bad, I just have to eat softer food, apparently the spoiler took so long because he was having trouble hanging it for paint, as promised, here's the spoiler pics:









he also stuck the hood roundel on





car need a wash now, it's covered in that body shop dust

[tiFreak]

thanks, I've pretty much got my car where I want it appearance-wise so now I can start focusing on the performance more

[Marv17]

[tiFreak]

thanks, I love it, it was $125 shipped, used on ebay from one of the socal guys, can't remember his name but he had an Estoril ti that he was putting back to stock so he could buy an E39

thanks, I think the spoiler needs to be re-attached though, the double-sided tape is already peeling up

Hey man your cf hood looks cool and the roundel too!! Racer!!

The upper trunk spoiler i dont like that much it screws the roof lines, i would put one in the rear like mine!!

and to complete now you really need a good drop very fast!!

Your car is looking pretty good. Now time for some coil overs. Have you thought about another rear bumper. Is there a rear bumper that goes with that kit you have? The rear bumper is a lot shorter than the skirts and looks a little awkward in the side shots. You should think about the candy coated paint effect on your carbon fiber hood. A good paint shop can paint it to look like the rest of your car from a few feet away, but when you get up close to the car you can see the carbon fiber weave.

Some examples...

Im definitely liking the roof spoiler. I think that anything other than lip spoilers on the trunk add even more height to the back of our cars and just make it look bad. Im also liking the updated sig...huge improvement over the last one. I never loved those blacked rims. The ones you have now are a lot nicer.

it's a knock-off of the Hamann kit, Bobbak has one, looks pretty good

I've thought about the candy painted hood, but then I lose the bling-bling "hey look at me I have a CF hood" effect so I think I'll leave it unpainted
