The spoiler in that pic and the JDM spoilers come down over the side of the lid. I am not going to do that with mine. I will leave the sides of the lid alone as to keep with the lines of the car.

It's good to see you doing this, Tom. I have thought about doing it for some time. Take lots of pics for us, buddy!

yup, Well Chike drove all the way up to my house yesterday to have me do his front seals. While we were taking a quick break he took some pics of some of the parts I hav in my garage and this project I am working on. So once he can email the pics I will post them up.

Thanks for everything Tom. The four pics of the spoiler (sized 800x600 pixels) are in your e-mail inbox. I can't wait for you to post 'em - your project is cool!

Looks very interesting. I really liked your blackened intake manifold. Looks bad! Does it get hotter than normal?

I'm also "rockin" a black engine (thanks to the previous owner of my car). Temp is right on par with the previous SVXen i've owned.
