Well done sir. A red car is the sun is defiantly a thing of beauty.

As it is curing check around the is spoiler, its rubber and the paint might crack around it. (unless you painted it separately)

Where did you get the plastic brackets for the es/is valence i thought they were nla?

Thanks! The trunk spoiler was painted separately and hit first with adhesion promoter, as were all of the flexible parts. We only dropped it into place for a moment to take those pics of it on the deck lid.

They are indeed NLA; these are a slightly different design (with the "spring" added).

...on a tip from Levent I got them from Chuck at SunSpot. He has them available on eBay but in very limited supply. I understand that once they're gone, they're gone.

Another one gets saved from the junk yard, yesss!

Great work man, keep it up!

Thanks guys!

The plan is to get the color and the clear on it in the next couple of days and bring it home by the end of the week. Then comes buying all the necessary new bits and the arduous task of putting it all back together...
