DocHolladay23 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thought I'd share this little mod I did recently in case anyone else is interested. I love how the Stanza rear window spoilers look, but I couldn't really justify spending so much on a small aesthetic piece, so i decided to see what i could come up with I bought a rear lip spoiler off eBay, about $25 I think, did a little trimming and painted flat black to go with my other mods, stuck on and done. Pretty easy mod, just gotta take your time and make sure the lengths and angles match up, It's not as big as the Stanza, but a similar, subtle replacement that I think looks pretty good. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/4cad50a7.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/9a75f322.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/8c0306fb.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/76e2ccd4.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/4cfb995a.jpg [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

DocHolladay23 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 thanks guys here's a link to one exactly like the one I got, took me about 30 minutes to measure/cut/smooth out, pretty straightforward, I just used a piece of paper to trim the contour of the rear window, cut that and used it as a stencil on the lip [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

iMCsquared Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Kudos to you Doc. I was actually considering ordering one of those lip to see how it would look on my trunk. I might have to double up on the order and try this little mod out. Looks great man. Way to get creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05gtlimited300 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 looks better than the stanza IMO. its very subtle, just the way it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 I do like how subtle it is, not many people would notice it unless they knew it didn't come that way [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

rtzcom Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 There are roof spoilers available on ebay which are pretty much the same as the $20 M3 style trunk lip spoilers, but larger in size. I saw a listing a few weeks ago, but didn't find one trimmed to 05-09 LGT specs. I like what you did, its very subtle. Looks stock which is a plus too.

DocHolladay23 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 That will be interesting to see how both look (window and trunk lid), I can't imagine it would look bad. And Gato I paid more for shipping too, I hate it when sellers on eBay drop the price and jack up the shipping, pisses me off [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt?
