TRD "style" spoiler ordered, but..*sigh*

"Spoiler comes factory paint matched. When choosing an option from the drop down menu, please note that when item is in ship from MFG, it will be an additional 6-8 weeks for paint."

@BlaineWasHere Sorry for telling you that I don't put replica parts on my car. I'm a terrible person.

Wait. I thought you were getting it in CF?

Anybody else watch the SpaceX launch and landing today?

Science is fucking unbelievable.

Clipdat · 03-30-2017, 08:24 PM

Yes, I did. But it still drop ships directly from the manufacturer vs. it being in stock. I'm guessing the same 6-8 week figure applies, even though it's technically not "paint".

No chance of picking up a "slightly used" or "new"/"unused" one from someone on here or via the Bay Area/Norcal FB group?

Ah, gotcha. I guess you need to order something else for your car that's in stock in the mean time to hold you down until the spoiler gets in. =P

About time. The green bottle is like the worst possible choice for a delicate style like Pilsner that is very susceptible to being lightstruck by sun or other lights and turning skunky. (Chemical reaction that occurs with the hops in a beer when struck by sun, creates that skunky aroma and off flavor)

Ayyyy I just picked up the six pack of cans from Whole Foods. One of my favorite local beers. 🍻

Clipdat · 03-30-2017, 10:04 PM

lol, please don't encourage me. I was going to also order the TRD trunk stabilizing aero thing, but decided not to.

What're your guys' opinions on license plate mounting? Regular front middle or tow hook relocator?

My plates just came in (though I need to file an application for custom ones now) and I still haven't decided which route. I don't have the tools to do the relocator on my own and on one hand I don't really like the asymmetrical look. But on the other hand it means not needing to drill into the front bumper too.

DIY Magnetic front plate mount! Best of both worlds. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t+plate+magnet

But that involves removing the front bumper which has its own perils...
