I hate hearing about this stuff. I hope they get what's coming to them.

Yeah, I agree it might be a good idea to watch the other ISes in your area and see if they suddenly happen to have these things on their cars.

F*** thieves to the max!!!! I had my car broken into and s*** stolen from it so i kinda know how it feels when someone messes with your car. If they stole both items...my guess is that this is someone else not far from you that owns a 2IS. That or start checking your local Craigslist to see if they put it up for sale!

That's the only thing I'm thankfull for, the only damage I actually found was a scratch about 2" long. My guess is that's where they stuck a screwdriver in to pry the corner up to get a grip. That and my rear glass was full of finger prints.

I know what you mean bro but as you know the only way to put on the roof spoiler is to double side it tape on as for the trunk spoiler I used double sided tape as I did not want to drill holes in the trunk. In a good way it might have been good if not they would have dented my trunk ripping it off the bolt screws.

Are the on the sticker from the factory lip spoilers attached with screws?
Or just installed with tape at the port?

Then the same thieves may have caused paint damage trying to get a screwed on spoiler off.

That sucks bro, I know the feeling. I've had a sound system and wheels stolen and it is one of the worst feelings to come out of your house and find your car on 4 bricks or a window broken or anything like that.... I just wish I can get someone red handed one day

this is why I have a cc, don't let the fitted vneck& shorts fool you I still strap. Ruger lcp380 fits great in a pocket. Miami is no joke. I can't stand being robbed every other time I visit Miami which is an hour south of me. Its why I have no rear spoiler, visors, nor lip kit. They will try & rip anything of your vehicle in Miami no matter what time of day.

Correct mine was installed after I bought my car. I did not want to drill hole into it so I deceided to use 3M tape.

Least this experience got me off my lazy A$$ and i fixed my fence to be able to put my car in the back yard.
