the make of the wing is a Carlsson, and as for the licence plate you got the idea, but I get stopped by other people all the time asking me what it means, and I simply say " nothing". LOL

lol...a Canadian thing.....the plate doesn't have any meaning except to confuse the hell out of you....if you stand approx. 10ft from the plate you can't tell what's an X or what's a K, it's crazy, if you stare it it for too long your vision will start to get blurry and eventually your eyes will water...lol

sometimes I'll joke with ppl and say "It's so easy to read, you don't see what it says?" and let them trip out on it for awhile and then eventually tell them what's it for...lol

not sure what bumper it is, came with the car...going to investigate...

as for spacers on the rear, i already do have spacers on the back, it's actuaclly ok because with my speaker box and having 2 people in the back it never rubs, just a serious tire and rim tuck....

how dark are you thinking of doing your tail lights? Mine are stock and they have a light tint to them, you want to put darker than that?

It's a carlsson. I almost bought that bumper from evo sport for $99 bucks.

Here is the link from calsson's site http://www.carlsson.de/en/tuning/c-k...2/aero/03.html

look at the station wagon, carlsson had 2 types of rear bumper, a rear lip, and a bumper cover. what you have is a bumper cover. the only difference btw the 2 is that yours doesn't have the exhaust tip opening, whle on the carlsson site, it does. I've yet to see carlsson actually sale the bumper cover with the exhaust opening, all the one's they sold in the us, were without the exhaust opening and everyone just cuts one open

you really need to get a front bumper to match the rear..... it looks a little funny with the boxy bumper cover in the back and the rounder stock bumper cover in the front. but overall nice car...

here is my 202 with carlsson 19s
