Let me know which one you choose and how you like it.

Checked with PC about changing settings. As VTHOKIE79 stated, you must take foot off the gas to change settings. Still debating the need but will keep you informed.

Thanks. I'm exactly where you are. When I drive in Sport or Sport Plus, I don't think I need anything else still its tempting.

Yea I feel the same about sport/sport+. I
use the custom setting with engine in eco when driving highway. They claim 20% mpg increase when in their eco mode. If that is true then it may help with the cost differential.

I haven't set up my Custom setting yet but look forward to doing so. Any suggestions?

I had my OEM spoiler installed shortly after buying my car. It came prepainted and with the springs. When it arrived, the dealer said they needed the drilling template so I ordered it from the dealership I buy my parts from. My local dealership wanted twice as much to install it than my bodyshop.

After he installed it he said that template made the install so much more easier. It took him 15 minutes. I asked him to install the springs but he came back to the waiting area and said they were the same exact springs that were already on the car so I just went home.

When I got home I popped the trunk and it opened but did not open fully for easy loading. I had to use my hands to raise the lid open. I went ahead and installed the new springs myself and now the trunk filly opens with no hands. That little bit of weight from the OEM really does make a difference and if you want your lid to pop open fully without using your hands, you'll need those springs.

I am glad i bought the spoiler. Makes a huge difference with the looks.

Totally agree with you about how nice it looks.

Email Dan at DDICKERSON@BELLLEXUS.COM and ask. The spoilers part number is specific to the color. You'll also need to order the install template. I buy my parts from him and the prices are the cheapest I can find anywhere in the country. Shipping is free too.
