Default Installed Stillen spoiler today.

I was a little skeptical about getting this spoiler at first, but I love it in person! Pics don't do it any justice.

I'm so jealous of your nice weather...the Northeast is depressing the hell out of me.

Thanks!
Yeah, weather here is really nice at the moment(in the low 70's)
Too bad when summer hits it will be upper 90's with 100% humidity.

That does look awesome. Stillen had a Feb sale where they were selling this wing for $295 + shipping. I almost pulled the trigger then.

Can I ask how you attached the wing (screws and/or glue), and what it cost to paint?

Thanks again!
They had it on sale for $295(last week). I painted it myself, so have no idea how much a body shop would charge. I was scared a body shop wouldn't be able to match the paint, so I did it myself.
I attached it with screws/tape. I tryed the 3m tape by itself first, but I was not getting a flush fittment along the sides..

You did a good job on the paint. Did you clearcoat it?

Thanks again everyone.
I don't know, I really want a front bumper(would have ordered one if I could decide). My front bumper is torn up from rock chips, but don't want to waiste the time/paint if I'm going to replace it.
Initially I wanted the Ings+1 or the Vertex lip kit, but now I'm leaning towards the Nismo V2 or V1 front bumpers. I just don't know.

Only thing I would be cautious about the V2 bumper is it sticks out further then the stock bumper, being your lowered, driveways and speed bumps might be a problem.

Car looks great....as does the wing!

Quick question on the Greddy TT....is that exhaust effective when hooked to a N/A car? Just curious....i thought it was for FI cars only......regardless, it looks GREAT!

Also, id go with the INGS, Vertex Lip kit, or maybe even the Origin(sp?) lip kit for you car. That would be NUTS

I did not notice a loss in performance when I went from the Nismo to the Greddy. It actually fealt faster(prob. just the noise). I was planing on going turbo and skipping the body mods, but have decided to just take it easy and enjoy the car rather than turn it into another project.
Thanks again everyone
