It's a vert, there is no minimum width to attach it to the trunk, just a maximum.
To the OP, it's funny, you said you don't see many &s with a kit but you ordered the GP sports kit, that's the kit that EVERYBODY(who gets a kit) gets. I like the GP sports kit, the spoiler isn't my taste at all but it's your car and it's nice to see you're happy with it.

well regarding everyone..thanks for the thumbs up...but as for the original post i made about the kits was that ive seen a few fc's on here with kits but not many VERTS...i think the vert rx7 looks waaaaaaaaaay different aside from the hatch...sexy body lines and the targa portion is a nice touch

hey, i see the "before" but no "after"? what the hell, you can't give a fat kid a cake with no frosting. you need both halves to make a whole. consider this fat kid upset.

I'm not really working as hard on the fc as I should be...right now I'm on the process of getting some fiberglass, putty and a bunch of sandpaper...i wanna give it a good sanding before it goes on. I'm still waiting on a locksmith right now to smith my locks because i dont have the trunk/door key (didnt come with it). The project is coming smoothly, but I'll be taking pics along the way. I'm gonna prime the whole car out, the car has a chipping maaco paint job...and a body kit is half the car anyway...its not much more on a vert to paint the upper half. I'm still kinda iffy on the 5 star chrome rims...
these are what the 5 stars look like... 18x7 with a 1.5'' deep lip and in need of a mothers polishing ball like my neighbor needs crack at 1 am....btw if i dont use these rims and i go with the black rims and polished lip ill be getting rid of these too

A) My Fc had the lock cylinder replaced and the key doesnt fit (im adept enough to know)
B) I don't see why anyone would flame a carbon fiber spoiler. the weave is consistent and it weighs near nothing, also adjusts height and deflection
C) Project is being funded by opposing vehicles insurance
sad yes i know...but theres a reason for everything
the hood is fine and the light didnt get messed up, everything tucked...minivan went through a red...booo i know but
the insurance money is how ive funded this...once again ill say...before i get flamed...not my fault they blew a light

never thought about that...yeah i havent driven her in like two weeks...she needs a battery, radiator, fender, bumper lights and bumper...so i bought body kit, fender, spoiler, another stock bumper just in case i want to go back to stock with all s5 bumper lights...ive spent quite a bit on getting her into shape and pardon my anagrams if i came off a bit strong....just frustrated not being able to drive her with the nice weather coming in (had her two days before someone hit me)
