That's alright man, I'm still deciding on what to do right now anyways

Rebuild?

[PegGTS]

Thought about it but this is my daily so I'm looking for the least downtime and I'm pretty much set on either swapping another 5S or a 3S in.

Ya sounds like a good plan, just sourcing a 5s is a problem and swapping a 3s would be more expensive

not sure if i posted any of this, but heres some crappy cellphone pics of my interior carbon fibre wrapped and installed

[Edser]

I love the carbon fiber wrap! I thought about it, tried to put on a nice brushed stainless steel wrap, but it wouldn't stick. It kept lifting. How did you get it to stick? Heating it only got it to stay temporarily. It would lift after a few hours. I'll be painting it now..

Cleaned and used a heat gun was pretty much it, maybe cuz my trim was previously painted it might of helped with it sticking

Yeah mine was just plastic finish, I cleaned it but that didn't seem to make it stickier. Shift gaiter surround was painted but the vinyl didn't stick there either. I'll be going with silver paint for the moment, maybe vinyl later. So many things to do!

That actually looks really nice, only reason i went with the carbon fibre was cuz my trim was previously painted red, then i re-did it in black and with time it wasnt looking to appealing so vinyl wrap it was, i'd do it in a gloss black if ever i wanted to redo it

on another note, picked this up from KAOS during the winter time, thaaanks again, been looking for this part for a couple years now but the price they were selling them for didnt seem to make me do it any quicker, until his part-out, currently waiting for it to get painted



i did get the center of the spoiler painted black, just waiting on the end pieces to be paint matched with the rest of the car



unfortunately the TRD wing did not come with end caps, so i needed to source a pair out, luckily i scored a set of carbon fibre end caps, i think they will look awesome when its all put together



should be completely put together and on the car in the next week or so

[kloudkicka]

got the TRD sides of the spoiler paint matched and its spot on, put the spoiler together and added a TRD decal and here it is





i think it looks awesoome, couldnt be happier with this purchase, comments welcomed

[JoshuaM]

That's going to look amazing! I demand to see it installed!

[kloudkicka]

here's a quick cell phone shot of my two wings side by side



and heres a pic of it installed on the car, funny thing is, i didnt notice that the blade was actually upside
down, had to unbolt everything and flip it around haha and also my other halfs civic peaking in the back lol

[PegGTS]

Haha yaa i figured that was you, was taking a walk with chris and he told me it was yours, i take it you didnt check out the whole lot

[PegGTS]

I guess not, there was just too much to see haha. Didn't see Chris' car either

[kloudkicka]

Here are some cell phone shots of my car with the TRD wing installed after the first wash of the season

[Tigawoods]

it took me a couple minutes to decide but I like the new wing MUCH more.

I never noticed how much of a curve it had on the cross bar. NICE upgrade man

Yaaa i completely agree, once i had the spoilers side by side it was obvious which one i liked more, but dont get me wrong, i love the gt-four spoiler, thats why im not selling it, but the trd wing just has that difference factor that just flows
