Installed the real carbon fiber roof spoiler I got on eBay for $95 minus $15 coupon.
Good quality for the price. It didn't come with tape so I had to but some eBay "3M" tape which I think is fake due to low price I paid.

So the roof spoiler and IS-F carbon fiber spoiler buff I did 4 months ago didn't last, so I had to redo the clearcoat using SprayMax 2K Urethane.




Check out the video of the process.

I remember doing something similar on my Evo spoiler I had on my Lancer OZ Rally. But didn't have such nice clear coat option in a can back in 2006.

California sun sure is unforgiving, looking at the shape of the leather on the rear seats... yikes

FL sun too. I think my headrest on my rear seats are like alligator skin, its been like that since the car was like a year or two old. The headrest vinyl/leather on these cars is not that great.

I remember my cousin who also got his car in LA around same time I got mine complain about it after 6 months.

Yea these days, you can get any professional basecoat and clear in a can. Hardest part is the prep as you can see. The spray is easy.

I got around to wet sanding and buffing the clear I did last month for the roof spoiler and IS-F carbon fiber spoiler too.
