Anyways looks Like you got a pretty nice car there.
How about some under the hood shots?

Chuck assured me many times that it does indeed fit, so keep at it. I just couldn't afford to keep throwing money at it. If you are not using the stock bracing then you might try that (you will have to take it off of your stock bumper).

In 1997 it wasn't so bad. Today, when maybe 1% of the newer cars on the road are green or green/blue, it really looks dated. Worse, the shine is killed by even a light coat of dust/dirt, and it turns a dull blue when that happens. I liked it most at night, when it looked like a dark blue/black, so that's what it is now.

I am useing all the stock brakets now and heave redrilled all the holes on the existing witnesses and am having alot better sucess. I think the way I will have to mount the top, will not be the way chuck intended, but should work out fine. I might post some pics before it is painted, if any one would like to see.
Sure, I would love to see pics!

well I have installed the feed type 2 wing. most notable observation, there are two holes that remain uncovered in the rear deck lid. also there is a bolt at the front of the inner support of the stock wing-whoops! I like the feed type 2. I have pics, but unfortunately my comp suddenly stopped recognizing my 6-1 card reader. Weird!

thanks for those pics speedking. It's hard to tell from the pics, but I think the feed type 2 spoiler (replica) follows the lines of the fd well. Clicking the adjustable center piece up, gives an almost supraesque appearance from the back, without being ridiculous like the supra copy spoilers I have seen.
