After seeing how JVIPs looked on his car, I bought the same one from American Muscle and finally installed it today. Pics aren't the greatest, i'll see about getting some better ones in the future. It took me an hour or so to make some aluminum brackets to support the wheel well liners and the plastic bottom pan.

nice, looks good. Definitely and easy mod that returns a lot in the way of changing the front end. Props on the brackets to support the liner, I didn't use any brackets at first and ended up chewing up some of the liner till I did.

Any plans on painting it gloss black to match the cars finish?

Thanks for the acknowledgment as well...
 
I haven't decided if I'm going to paint it gloss black to match the car or maybe flat black to match the side skirts and the rear valance, kinda give it the old muscle car look. I think yours and a few others looks good when color matched to the car but a black car seems to offer a couple options. Not to mention the fact that if I ding it up, flat black is easier for me to touch up.

I appreciate the info on which one you used. I would have hated to modify an expensive one and this one is very workable. I'm planning on making a better support for the fender wells and bottom plastic panel out of Lexan. I have it readily available here at work and if I can draw it, I can get it made.
 
Looks good. I know mine stands out from all the ones I see around in my area.
 
Next on my to do list is to see if I can get the front of the spoiler to tip out a bit more since the corners are out a bit. I got some bevel washers from work and slotted them out so I can loosen the bolts across the front then slide them in with the wedge shape towards the back. I'll post some pics if it works.

It probably wont without leaving a small lip on the top instead of being flush like it is now. I found this out the hard way after spending a few hour tweaking mine to see how I could get it to stick out further, ultimately I found anyway I did this it formed a gap..

Good luck though post some pics....
