That's a replica OEM 2000 Cobra R spoiler.

@xplosyv thanks I like the look and its cool if they dont like it but these forum really has some people out of touch with the times. Athletic shorts on the strip of Miami Beach at noon? They can keep the linen suits and chino shorts. My alma matter is OSU *Go Buckeyes* the shorts are just what they are.. Shorts I dont know why I expected them to understand

lol...just had to get in on DOOK but heck WE are BOTH out of the tourney now anyway...but back to the vertical doors, i especially like the way the profile looks on a coupe when the hatch is open and the hood is open...the symmetry is awesome!

and yeah, you called the spoiler right...wasn't really that high but you kinda had to know what it came from to understand...one of the baddest Mustangs of its time...oh well...anymore Vertical door pics?

Now Endeka, you have the right to use the "back button" or look away if it's not to your liking, which is really just a polite way of saying you should be
Are those the ZLR doors? Do they also require modification of the inner fender? They look very nice. Oops guess they are didnt notice your avatar.

I am on the fence about these the only thing I dont like is they cut the fender to make them work. The other thing is when they are all the way up the door / fender area does not look good and to me that is what is holding me back.

yeah, the blown DRL can stand out...i hate it when i pull behind someone and see only ONE light...hey triple, check out this youtube video where this guy from another Vette forum has a way of changing them with relative ease...i've done it a few times now myself

Changing Your DRL's in 2 Minutes!

oh...btw...as a COP, i was more concerned about your parking in a HANDICAP spot than your DRL...hmmmm?????

tough crowd to please, the DRL is annoying but wasnt a priority. I pulled in the handicap space to take the pic I didnt leave it parked.

Black Halo and Wheels and Tint to come in the summer if I dont trade it for a 6spd first.

OSU is still in it Go Buckeyes!

Well said. I would hope that we could share our opinions without critisizing each others character.
We've seen a lot of this type of ill natured bashing lately.
Far too much of this poor behaviour is going on around the forum!
