Now I know how the roof spoiller looks with the small black lip. I just may finally put mine on.
The polarizer really does create a better picture, thank you for this tip
I plan to get the rear diffuser but I need to do it strategically so that my wife doesn't throw me out of the house I've survived this far with the front Kidney grills, Racechip, MPPK, and front lip.

Interesting! That pose was very popular in the bodybuilding world. Popularized by a person named Zyzz who had passed away few years ago. I'm sorry about the passing of your friend!

Looks good kzang, the lip and diffuser really add nicely to a darker colored car I think.
Planning to do the diffuser on my carbon black.
Are you planning on the rear side wings?

You know I've been thinking hard on this... and the rear fins are going to be another $1,000+ lol. If I get the fins.. then I need to get the side skirt decals...

It really is a money pit... I'm not completely satisfied either... I want to do something with the wheels, add the rear fins, side decals... and possible the CF side view mirror caps..
Then I will sign my divorce papers

IMHO, you don't need the rear fins. They don't add much to the car and it makes the car look too busy. If you don't add rear fins, you don't need the side decals , $1000 saved towards new wheels

Yeah, I've not seen any other Space grey with the fins yet... But I suspect that it would look really good! One concern I have that is making me think twice is debris getting into the space between the body and fin and possibility of causing scratches and constantly cleaning it.

Definitely transforms the front end for sure. Looks like I just fast tracked the lip to the top of my mod list. Haha. Damn you!

While I haven't seen the M Perfomance kit in person, in pictures at least, the rear diffuser looks so much better without the side 'fins'.

Seems like lot of folks dislike the rear fins. I'm still going back and forth with adding it.

Here is a picture I found of someone with a space grey and side decal with fins and I think it looks great!
