Also, I don't believe they make any rear lip spoilers for the 2011's? Or do they?
When we all meet up I can show you mine! There's nothing underneath the roof spoiler but glass. There's no overhang that you can't wash underneath either. Kind of hard to explain but you will see. As for the rear lip spoiler, the one on the trunk is what I'm referencing and I think all the trunks are the same. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong tho!

Ahh, I see. I'll add the roof spoiler to my list of mods -- but the F-Sport rear spoiler is already on my list no?

It is, I dont think I worded it well but what I was implying was the roof spoiler flowed well once you got the trunk spoiler haha

Ahh I see I'll probably be ordering both of those next. The rear spoiler costs a LOT for what it is

Here's a couple pics of mine. Is the one you're looking for different? These you can get unpainted for like $130 for the pair I think of eBay... An they fit well. You can get them painted but I heard that they have had problems matching white paint.

That spoiler looks great, and I'm kind of torn between the two, but I'm thinking of getting this one which will come pre-painted from Sewell:

BTW, it took all day (I was very careful, lol) but I finally got the PIAA 2500K bulbs, '11 F-Sport Lip, and '11 F-Sport Grille installed! I'm too tired to post up pics right now, but I'll post them up Thursday this week I was going to install LED turns, but to be honest, they were a royal pain in the **** so I said forget it, lol. Now I have 2 sets of LED turns and a relay to sell

Don't get the Wald unless you plan on making your car really aggressive, which you're not haha

Yea, the Wald is definitely too agressive for me. Thanks for sharing some pics though RDIS250AWD

Now I'm torn between leaving the stock HID bulbs on or getting Philips 6000K Ultinon's I have an opportunity to get the Philips 6000K's for $216.75 shipped right now - but I'm not sure if it's really worth it. The stock HID's match the LED's very close, but as soon as I put the 6000K's, they'll look very much different... Hard choices I tell ya!

I just made my decision. Even though it's a great deal for the bulbs, I can find many other things that the $200+ can go towards. My stock HID's are perfectly fine and look good as is.
