Alright just got it back, And they did the job, not perfect! But its done!







I think any where else and they might have totally ruiend it...

MAACO- SUckS! Never going back there!
1) Theres a Chip in the corner as if some one droped it!
2) A run in the paint, horrible painters! It was very Hard to photograph, but its there, and in the worst spot...
3) And, "Fish Eye" in the paint, But it is carbon fiber, so i knew it was to happen a lil... This they controlled well, I think,

I dont know if i should be mad or relieved that i got it back at all... Or just be upset in general... I dont even want them to try to fix it...Who knows how bad it would come out the second time, Its alright ill make due!
Im sure i could have done a better job!

MAACO? Should have asked. I wouldn't have a doghouse painted there. To be honest they're hit or miss on painting. Some can actually paint pretty good. It's a get in and out kind of shop though, thier prep work is horrible.

actually..they does look like the us one. the jdm one, the flares on the side goes down more and is closer to the hatch, looks like they are almost touching.
and the us one, the flares are higher and are not as close to the hatch.
is it me or does your look pretty high?

mmm.. Well if i looks high its has to do wit a lil that i didnt screw the top down as tight i didnt want either pieces to crack with the presure...

I actually owned a USDM spoiler before this...Totally diff. points...
USDM Short Stubby- and point out





JDM Point down, and they only replicate JDM... Research..
These do not touch the hatch wicth is a good thing, many peep complain that it rubs, and effects the paint!
The tips of JDM have Palm like tips that look like they would rest on the hatch...(mine do not- good thing ) ----point down

your right, it was just the other pic with that angle it looked higher. yours does flare lower then the usdm, but i have seen alot of the jdm spoilers going lower to the hatch than yours, at the same spot where you mount the spoiler.
nothing bad tho looks real good. im doing the same on my ppw picking up my seibon spoiler tomorrow.
