I really like the look of that spoiler and if at any point I consider changing from stock this will definitely be one of my top picks.

No holes drilled in my car and it didn't come with bolts. It came with enough tape to do the outer "ring" of tape, but I bought tape locally to add the tape "triangles" in the front corners. A local guy @PA-86 has the same spoiler and has gone a lot faster than I have with no issues, lol.

just finished the OEM wheels in 5 coats of black plasti dip, 3 coats of silver metalizer on top, finished with 2 coats of glossifier.
also installed my ichiba spacers, 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear - part of me feels like i could go with a 30mm in the back.
lastly, painted over my side markers with grimmspeed rattle can WRB. about 3-4 coats with 1 top coat of clear also from grimmspeed.

car is lowered 1" on hotchkis springs

Wow. That looks great. Can you take a close up of the wheel so I can see the finish? I'm interested to see what the metalizer did.

sure!
so... i learned after i finished glossing... the plasti dip glossifer, and i suppose the metalizer, should and would offer a high gloss finish if the base coats are nice and smooth. mine were definitely not. if not, then it doesn't matter how much clear you put on, it will never be a solid smooth shiny gloss surface.
if i did it again, i would use less, slower strokes; i was doing many and quick/ fast misting strokes (which typically is what i do with regular paint with success, not plasti dip)

when actually spraying the metalizer, you see a lot of glitter. however, this doesn't stay. i've only had the wheels finished for about 3 days, 1 on the car, and i hardly see any glitter left.
the metalizer is supposed to be a glossifer with silver flake, however, i believe the amount of silver flake is actually very high, which offers this silvery finish. the base coat black that comes through is what keeps it more gunmetal colored.

anyway, all that being said, i've got a somewhat sheeny finish with different amounts of reflection on different parts of the wheel when there's light. otherwise, it's a fairly flat finish, just not simply matte.

more cell phone pics - close ups:




hope these help!

Paging @Choco, please report to the WRB thread and post up more pics of your car. Preferably of the back so I can see more glamour shots of that wing.

HRE FF15 18x9+40 w/ Michelin PSS 255/35ZR18.

Flaps are Gorilla. The STi skirts were trimmed to allow them to sit flush, since the skirts wrap around into the fender, but you don't need to do that to install them (and won't have to anyway if you use an aftermarket skirt that doesn't wrap into the fender area.)

Yep, the knockoff spoiler is a solid buy. I'm the local guy with the much faster car than @Doc Walt and I can honestly say the paint match is spot on and fitment around the corners is tight. More than a bargain at the $140 or so eBay price.
