Lexon Roof Spoiler on my F...
Hi all,
Just wanted to share a few quick pics of the Lexon Roof Spoiler I bought in the Group Buy a few weeks ago... Always wondered if I'd like it or not as I had mixed feelings about this add on, but now that it's installed - I love it (IMHO)!

Looks Great taps!!! 
** Small important side note... **
Your wheels are mounted backwards..
The wheels pictured on your "Passenger Side" belong on the drivers side & vice versa...
The wheels on your "Drivers Side" belong on the passenger side..
I'm wondering if you removed your wheels at one point or dealership/port error??

Really!? Wow - I never noticed - good eye bro if it is (which I'm sure you're right...)
Edit: YEP. You're right - I checked out the NM one here and the dealer f'd it up (no pun intended)... http://www.thetorquereport.com/nm_is_fl.jpg
Here's the story - I test drove the car in the winter, so they slapped their winter tires/rims on as that was the only way the dealer could allow a test drive. That's when they must've f****ed up and mixed up the sides
I'm hoping there is no impact otherwise though (other than cosmetic)?
BTW your intakes next on my mods list !-)

The rims are designed to take the heat away from the brakes. Having them the wrong way will not allow this to happen. I would suggest switching them back the way they are supposed to be in order to get the full benefit of the rim design.

Fixed...
WOW - Is that ever the truth... I got them switched literally right after I saw the post and took it to the dealer (needless to say they fixed right away and felt like dumba$ses)... This small change does make a HUGE difference... I think there is some resistance when it's on the incorrect way as the car seems to roll more freely now.
JoeZ - Million thanks for the error you caught... Good eye.
bchoi27 - I'm sure you're 100% right on that one...
