I may get the paint tilted more towards blue, but I'm definitely adding blue perls to it.

I got one from Pakfeifer Tuning (EZ_4_FUN / Oscar). Quick and easy to deal with...I got my wing and CF hood from them too.

I'm looking at getting the same spoiler for my car. How well did it fit? And how do you install it? And finally, does it look as if it requires alot of prep work before paint?

Actually it's not mounted, It's just holding on there with a bungie cord. For what I can tell, it need no pref work.

Also, when I go back home next week I'll post pics of the new monitor and new (final revision) mount for it, I installed it too late last night to take pics.

Sometime in June, prolly mid-June after I get everything sorted out, but there's 2 places I'm deciding on.

One of my cousin (who's a mechanic at Dave Chev/Olds's in Welland) has a friend who owns a bodyshop near Dunnville and does a very nice job, which is convinient cause it's close to home as well, cause I'll need someone to drive me back. (I'm home Wed/Thur/Fri, so I can easilly organise something with parents/friends to take me back home after i drop off the car, about 15min away, and take the 626 when I go back to Mississauga Friday night for work)

The other one is my old boss's ex-neighbour, who apparently does high-end work on sportcars/exotics who recently moved back up here in Mississauga. My boss likes to exagerate, so I'm skeptical about it and want to check it out for myself first, but even then, cause it's so far away from home, and I need to have a car to get to work, so I need to have a 3 car convoy, I need to drive my car to the shop, I need someone else to drive up in the 626 from Port Colborne to Mississauga for me since I'll need it while my car is in the shop, and i need a 3rd person to drive up to drive back the driver of the 626. And it's an hour and a half drive easy way, not a convinient way of doing things, but if it's worth it, ill do it.

My new, final design, of my LCD monitor stand with new monitor; more leg room, more clearance, better monitor, cleaner look
