It wasn't sold to me that way specifically... It came already painted, with four holes on the bottom, four stainless screws, and four templates for drilling the deck lid. I used a step-drill on the lid, lightly touched up the holes with paint. The next day I put a few strips of 3M mounting tape under the spoiler between the holes, siliconed the areas where the holes were and screwed everything down.

Yikes….must have been a little nerve racking drilling holes into your deck lid

Not too bad... my only concern was that the paint didn't flake off weird, but using a new step drill I sank each hole at 5/16" and it came out very clean, so the only bare metal was where the bit physically cut. I already had/planned it out so it got paint and sealed again overnight before I bolted it up the next day, and even then it was overkill on my part using RTV on the 4 mounting holes, tape etc. I'm not worried about rust. My only gripe was that the screws provided, while they are stainless and appeared to fit while installing it... they were too long for the most outer 2 holes, so I had to add a stainless washer to each to keep them from piercing the top of the spoiler. Other than that it was a fairly easy install.

Side strip looks too aftermarket - ie doesn’t go the whole length and it makes the car look like from the 90s:




Spoiler is a must. The ES has such a big rear end, the spoiler makes it less old man.

>Side strip looks too aftermarket
Nope the side molding was factory supplied and color matched the car. Nothing like the pix shown.
Only problem is, they're probably not available any more ...

Finally got it painted it.. decided to color match it and I think it came out really good.
What you guys think? 👎🏼Or👍🏼
And finally also finished tinting my rear and windshield 🙌🏽

I dropped mine an inch, trying to figure out the rims later this year.

Not dropped

Dropped

Teedawg

What did you use to drop it? Springs or coilovers?

Imluckyace

These are the coilovers but there is a few out there to choose from

I used these exact ones.

Teedawg

how do you like them?
