So true... LOL... J/K

I remember when I had my Evo with the vortex generator, I used double sided 3M tape and it worked great, I drove my Evo HARD and never had an issue with the VG. I think that 3M tape is more than enough.

I'm another one who doesn't like the rear roof spoiler, so I'm with you 8speed.

I'm not a fan either. Reminds me of the Celica Supra from the early '80s.

+1 thats how i did on my evo as well. It looks good on evo but not on the F IMO.

Can't believe I agree with you, and that I actually understand what you're talking about

It's not horrible, I just think it looks like you're trying too hard to make upgrades! Effortless and tasteful is the key

I love that roof spoiler - really finishes up the rear nicely!

What brand/cost is something like that? I'd like one for mine when I get it.

Default updated with pics - enjoy

Here's are pics --- i got it from ebay from race designs for $40, plus $20 shipping, and $150 for paint.... so far i like it

BEFORE PICS (tint-less, spoiler-less)




AFTER PICS (20% tints, roof spoiler)





check out neighbor's pimp AMG, he has a Z06 also



i know, stupid parking permit - but i get free underground, security with camera, garage parking with it

I registered it in TX.... I used my mom's address so I could pay less sales tax and insurance... bonus - everytime i get pulled over in NY the cops don't ticket me for no front license plate, and now the illegal tints

Yeah, I don't know... I'm guessing it's a Northeast thing, several of my neighbors have it also... Works well in the fall and winter. This would never fly in my homes in Texas!
