I ordered the Ti-Gray spoiler a few days ago from SpoilerDepot. I plan on putting it on myself. Will try to remember to take picts.

I know mines on the way. I should have it in a couple of days. It's too bad I've decided to return my car. Anyone interested in a winning blue spoiler?

put it up for sale as a new item in (one, or both of) the two sections at the bottom of this forum.

spoiler depot velocity red spoiler

Well, here's some pics of my car with the Spoiler Depot spoiler. Paint is a perfect match! It sure took ***** of steel to drill those 4 holes into the trunk, let me tell you!

when i did mine, i wasnt sure how the red or blue would come out because of the different paint.....mine is just straight yellow.

SpoilerDepot spoiler install & pics (Ti-Gray)

I got my spoiler from spoilerdepot.com. It went well, though I'd give the instructions about a 6. They were generic instructions and I got a few more parts than the parts sheet indicated (some rubber grommets). However, the spoiler was in very good shape and packed well. Ordered 9/8.. shipped 9/11, arrived 9/18 (ups ground). I paid $260 total with freight.

The car before:

The box and the parts. Spoiler was wrapped up and taped and the gray form fitting insulation added. A parts list, a bag of screws and some weatherstripping.

The bottom of the spoiler. You're supposed to use the set screws to position the spoiler to create dimples in the trunk lid. Personally, I'd much rather have a template.

Installed. I added the weatherstripping at the bottom and that seemed to work very good to cover up imperfections in the spoiler fit.

Great job.... I wouldn't have been able to drill the holes myself (which is why it's going to be brought somewhere)... Building stuff w/ wood is one thing... drilling holes in my brand new car is another

Thumbs up

i got my yellow one from the same place. did you paint the holes? you need to paint them so they wont rust. just need touch up paint. i really liked the quality of the spoiler, nice and light also did not effect the tunk shocks at all, some times a aftermarket spoiler will be too heavy and the trunk wont stay up. not a problem with these. i highly recomend it it is a great price too considering factory is $350.0 unpainted. so for $260.00 cant beat the price. :D :D
