Dr. Colorchiped the road rash on the beak. PITA; wide and flat. Every time I tried to level the touch up with the Sealac, it removed the paint from the ding. Finally got a pretty good fill. Then later took it for a spirited drive on a bit of local twisty.

Picked up a set of F/R splash guards for $100 on the bay. Got them yesterday and installed them today. Not really sure how much they'll help with how small the flap actually is.
Poverty splitter is supposed to be here Wed. or Thur. and I'll install that right away. My new Z51 spoiler in Carbon Flash showed up, so I'm checking around for install prices and trying to decide if I want to just install it myself.

Just finished installing a spoiler. I have been looking for one I like for two years now and finally found one.

Poverty splitter showed up this morning, installed this afternoon.

How many have installed this splitter and only used the 12 (or so) factory 7mm screws to attach it? It came with 10 pop rivets that you have to drill holes for, but not sure I want to drill any holes through the front bumper cover. I know some have used scrivets rather than the rivets, but wondering if those are really necessary.

I installed mine. Used the factory screws and drilled holes for a total of 15 pop rivets.
Might be overkill but i track the car and don't want anything coming loose or blowing off at 150 mph.

It came with 3M tape attached and directions for a proper adhesion and fit. And believe me it is "stuck" real good!

Got the windshield busted on the way home from an oil change. Of course insurance only pays for aftermarket/knockoff glass. I've got OEM on order and will pay the difference, which really isn't that much.

Had carbotech pads installed today. Drove home in a driving rain storm. Guess what I'll be doing Saturday.

Hey, @joemessman do you have a link to where you purchased the spoiler that just uses the tape for install. I couldn't find it and bought a take off Carbon Flash Z51 spoiler off ebay, but it has the studs which require drilling and removing the rear bumper cover.

TIA bro.

Remind me not to drive behind any of you who have your stuff stuck to you with just tape.
