Maybe your car is too stock.. Exhausts will make you want to drive it more!

Not exactly-I have a Borla & intake. I will be sending my ECU to RR Racing for the flash.
The real problem is, I've spent the past 6 years in & out of the hospital-multiple spinal injuries...

Sorry to hear about that, I know how that goes. My cousin broke his spine and if the bone moved up another 1cm, he would be paralyzed. He has some nasty scars, but some cool metal pins all in his bones!

I wouldn't do a prepainted spoiler from them unless it's an easy color like silver, black, or dark gray. I would stay away from all the other colors especially Starfire Pearl.

I went with a different seller with a prepainted USB spoiler. I took a small gamble but it was worth it. Matches very well.

Yeah the darker colors are fine, I guess basically every other color except for Starfire Pearl. Lol.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! It makes the car look like a 15k Hyundai. And these guys did it so much that the Germans are noe blacking there trim out and even Lexus on the new LC and it makes it look like ****. The trim defines the lines of the car around the shoulders and "green house".

Personal preference. Chrome for me only belongs on a few vehicles. This car ain't one for me. I painted my rear emblems but haven't done my front yet. If the black chrome wasn't so expensive I would have gone that route.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of chrome-on the F.
