Default New Stillen Spoiler Installed + Paint, Cut and Buff

This week I had my car at a shop for a new hatch paint job and to install a new Stillen wing.

A couple spots needed to be fixed on the hatch and the wiper was removed, but nothing major. After the install the car got a good cut/buff and sealer job. It is so clean now I don't even want to drive it... Anyways, on with the pics!

Yes it does! I seriously wish I could just park it in my garage and just admire it... I hate the idea of it getting dirty or scratched.

Me too, more aggressive looking than stock, but not crazy. Also, no knockoffs! The stillen-style spoilers look terrible.

I'm glad you like the plug. I can't stand the type that aren't flush.

I don't like the idea of permanently modifying the hatch just to close up that hole when a flush delete kit is available. I thought about welding it and then decided it's wise to leave the option open to install the wiper again in the future.

What if my tastes change on having the OEM wiper? What if I want to sell the car and the new owner wants the wiper? etc...

I totally agree! Next on the list is a Vertex body kit, then I'm hitting up the wheel market.

My buddy just picked up an NSX and was nearby tonight so I snapped a couple fast photos with my iPhone. Thought they would go well in this thread:

Good fitment, nice work.

Car's body line needs to be a lot more aggressive to bring out the look of the spoiler. Just my 2.01 cents :P
