    It's a Racing Dynamics spoiler. It was silver when he got it. I had to fix a few cracks, 1 mount, and it's spray painted the same satin as his plastics and front lip.

      How durable is the splitter? I just bought one but I haven't put it on yet. I want to know if it could take a decent beating or not :/.

        I have drug it on black top (in and out of driveway) through yards and more black top. It is still solid with very little evidence of scrapes. Its made of very good ABS plastic.

                          So I finally decided to drive the car again, it has been sitting from winter until a few weeks ago. First thing was to clean the dirty30 up so it looked its part.



                          Then I had to do an oil change, I used the Schwaben Fluid Extractor I got from ECSTuning a month or 2 ago. It works so good I wish I had it years ago.



                          I also had to install windshield washer nozzles so it will pass inspection. Well back when I had the body/paint work done I had the holes in the hood filled to give a better cleaner look. So I went on ebay and bought a pair of generic nozzles to install in the plastic grills where the wipers are. I aimed them and after a little adjustment they actually work better then the stock ones did, even after I replaced with new OEM ones a few years ago.

                              Thanks!



                              So for the last 2-3 years I have had a torn outer tie-rod on the drivers side. Didnt really matter because it was torn down for most of that time and has only had ~3,000 miles put on it in that time.I have had both outer tie rods for the last 2 years to replace both sides and I finally did it today. Then I gave it a wash, I hate tree pollen and birds, soooo much bird crap was on it.
