I first wanted to take the installation pics, but I left the digi cam at home and my friend's parents took his. Step by step, 1)I bought some body molding tape to hold the spoiler into place. It held up to 90 MPH. 2) I bought some push-in plastic rivits and dremeled some holes, pushed in the rivits to place. If you need pics... I'll try to get some... Onto the encore presentation... You can see one of the rivets here... Be patient, I already said that I needed to put 2 more up to keep it from the "wave effect" What do you think? I'm not so good at the whole plastic and body molding on my car as some of you are, so be gentle... Post all comments good and bad. I think it might look nice w/ SE skirts and SVT rear bumper...

OP Augi CEG\'er A Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 333	Well, thanks for your support on the idea, I almost had to force it to wrap around. The idea behind making it a continuation is so that it looks a bit like a Mirko... in a sense. I didn't like the idea of just fitting it up to the original way. I fitted it a little better, but I still need to upload the pics. I think I'm going to leave it unpainted just because that IS the Mach 1 Spoiler, so it needs to stay looking likw one. I think the other thing I like about it is that it actually does flare out from the sides so as to act as a sort of splitter by the wheels. I'll try piccing that too. Thanks for your comments. I'm actually glad I did this just because I wanted to be a bit original.(that was the entire reason behind buying the car.)Keep em comming. My Cardomain Page
