yes sir

well, here it is guys, my update... i waited SOOOOO patiently to get this done. i had the front bumper all ready to be painted and thrown on the car, but my the guy who does my body work was on vacation in for a few weeks so i had to wait. let me just tell u guys this... i had an aftermarket stock looking spoiler on the car before and now that i added a wing, i was afraid of seeing a mark where the holes were... well, ill tell u this... my body guy is SOOOOOOOO good that those holes do NOT even show. i swear that u cant even start to tell there was anything there!!!! while my car was at the shop, i had the rear and sides repainted so it would all look good, and onto the pics!!!!

Congrats on finishing up the car. I know it's a relief. The RMM is a nice choice for the front since it is PU. It is one part of the car that will get bumped often and PU is always nice for durability.

love the car......

i was curious about your spoiler and the NAV system.

I've been juggling back and forth on the nav system and am having a hard time.
I really want to go with the pioneer system, but the fact that you can't change anything whille you are moving is really deterring me from getting it.
I was thinkin about going with the Alpine double din.instead.
I am guessing that you have the AVIC-D1.
How do you like it so far? And how is the IPOD connector?
Who did you have install it? Is he from Mass? What was the cost and how hard was it to manufacture the piece that goes around the face of the unit?

Also is your lip a wings west spoiler?
I wanted to do the same thing, since I don't want the traditional spoiler that comes on the GS
Where did you get the lip and what was your total cost after painting and installation?

Sorry about all the questions.......
here is a link to a few pics of my ride......haven't done much to it yet except put on 19" Konig Unknowns.
