idk how well that is on VQ. on my car it made its best power when doing 2-3 pulls right after another. the "cold" pull was never as good.

Spoiler came in. Blitzz Replica from Evo-R. Had no problems with the purchase through them, although many people have. Was packaged very good with lots of bubble wrap. Nothing was damaged.

Love the blitz!!! Looks perfect. I really wanna do one of the pre painted ones too. Did you get ahold of him before you bought it? Or did u just order it through the website?

Thanks man! Yeah I took the risk and ordered it and sent him an email right after placing the order, letting him know the color code and he replied within 2 hours. Came in today and was very well packaged. No damage on the spoiler at all. Fits perfect.

Congrats, the Blitz spoiler looks great. Does it bolt in at all, or just body tape?

Well the gears are in! Found out it has some aftermarket bushings already installed too. I can't hook in 1st gear but it is in the 40s today so maybe thats why. on a warmer day i will im sure.. but 2nd gear def feels a lot faster!

best 400 bucks i have spent in a very long time
