color of the spoiler matches my wheels and skid plate. slighty different color than the factory titanium that came on my grill and hood vents.

stop by anytime to see it in person.

Did you attached the spoiler yourself? What type of adhesive did you use? The picture in the link you provided doesn't show the indentation for the ACS badge...did yours came smooth? I would prefer no indentation.

attached it myself with 3M double sided mounting tape. Held up fine this evening to 110 mph speed. indentation is there. i ordered the sticker that fits there today. u can putty the indentation before you paint it if you prefer it without.

Those tips are very nice. I was thinking of buying them as well but decided to wait. Maybe after you install them and post some pics I will get them too. As for the question of painting them I'm not really sure. I'm leaning to both sides because if they are powder coated black they will go with the black trim and also the X is black, so that will also match. But I also for some reason like the look of chrome exhaust tips, but don't really know why.

Vince: X looks great, mang. Don't start with the posts about doing 110mph; you know where that got us (God-forbid someone should have something interesting to say at this site).......OT: What did kirkx5m have to say about the SC and Brembos? He had them both, and his X was definitely one of the finer examples of a modded whip.......

thx man. kirk basically said that he put a lot of money into those mods and didnt get it back when he sold it. i was actually concerned that this would be the case which is why i was asking his advice. although he said he loved the way the car performed hed be sticking to cosmetic mods in the future...as will I!
