I was thinking that your car was showing its appreciation of a wash and scrub by extending its spoiler..

Installed the fumoto oil drain valve (short nipple version). So far so good; no leaks.

I think you’ll like it more once you’re lowered and on aftermarket wheels.

I like how it looks with the little duckbill. @MCTeeJ has it on his and it looks great. And I agree with the above. Get some nice wheels to compliment the aero and you’ll be good

The problem is that duckbill is pushing it forward so it's in an awkward position, creating this sideways view that's not exactly pleasing to the eye. I would either fit a smaller trunk lip or take it off completely. It's supposed to look like this with a smaller (in this case 5axis) lip.



and now compare it to yours

i would like to remove it tbh. if i can cover the stock holes somehow, without showin' that there were holes there before. but might do what you suggested since it probably be the cheapest route 🤔

careful when re-tightening the bolts that keep it attached to the sides of the trunk. If you over-tighten, they leave bumps on the trunk. Learned it the hard way. Basically a reverse dent

Also, and it is just my opinion of course, the SARD does look better with some kind of trunk lip accompanying it

i actually screwed one of the middle screws far enough to where it basically made a small indentation on the trunk. i thought those screws were also to help push the clamp onto the trunk.

i do agree with you, the sard does look better with a trunk lip. a win win, cover stock holes and accompanies the sard.

Just the tip....

Just finished getting my tune revised by Zach at CSG. Such amazing work!


Gruppe-S UEL headers, stock OP/FP, stock resonator, nameless 5" muffled track pipe (single exit).



Car pulls hard all over the powerband now, no torque dip, sounds great. There is some drone though. I'd love to somehow put another resonator somewhere in the exhaust line, but I don't think there's any room anywhere.

Bought some new tires at 13,000 on the car. What a world of difference they make in grip and road noise. Got the Michelin PS 3+ AS.

New tires are due to the girlfriend clipping a tiny curb the other night in Houston. She had the car washed and detailed inside and out as an apology Lol.

Got a place you would recommend for detail? Don’t really want to do it at the dealer and I don’t know any good places. Need to do some touch up as well

Where in Texas are you? I can ask who she used, I believe they are a mobile service. She works for a dealership and happened to be in that day I was getting new tires, so she hooked me up.
