Installed my "S" Spoiler. Finally!

Installed my S Spoiler that I got from BB500 almost 6 months ago. Drilled 6 holes and walla. Got a Ghetto Bandaid on the right corner but the price was right, so no complaints here. Also, put my grill back on but need to replace one of the verticle brackets as it is broken and not holding on the top portion. I also shot some pics of the Shark Fin Antenna I bought last year. It's powered (amplified) and supports XM.

Also, by having this Spoiler requires a whole new style of driving. That Spoiler sits Lowwwww to the ground.

The spoiler looks good Leo. I wish I could put one on mine, but living out in the country on gravel roads would make it an unwise installation.

lfausty, my car must have been either in an accident or they changed out the front fenders in Federalization. I bought the car with US Fenders on it.

Yeah, your probably right. I would say the tip of the spoiler is about 3-4"'s to the ground.

Thanks! I have always loved the Phone Dials since I was a teenager dreaming of owning a 928. They were so badly thrashed with cakes of old paint when I got the car, I had them professionally bead blasted and powdercoated at a local place here.

The characters on your blue plates actually looked raised in the photos, I thought you had replaced the "flat ones."

Maybe it's the flash bouncing off the yellow causing a glare on the clear lense, cause I never would've guessed those are the same blue plates you had.

The front is different and it does have the raised letters, but is plastic and it looks like a monkey painted the yellow, which is why I bought the rear one since it's in metal but he didn't tell me it was flat. Pretty disappointed with that company.

Same crap here in Nevada. I mean come on...they pay the convicts like 5 cents an hour, what would an extra 18 seconds stamping the letters cost 'em anyway?

Thanks Landseer! Now if only the Tax man becomes nice this year to us, then maybe i can get her painted the Gloss Black she deserves. Shes been great to me as I have drove it every day this week so far and I just love the V8 sounds at 6 in the morning commute.
