Just my thoughts - Im not a big fan of the faded look, but it is creative. I actually liked how you did it with the tape the first time because its more uniform.
For what its worth, my wife says I never think out of the box, so I guess im just not that creative

@ benzo, thanks for the compliment!
@ pat, I understand your feelings, I knew this was not for everyone's taste. I just wanted to do something different by going out from the norm. I still have to give credit to Dad's for the idea. The good thing is I have the option to change the paint pattern as I wish.

^^ Boca do have a FRP version of the spoiler for half the price, but I didn't want to use the 3M Di-Noc vinyl to create the CF line.

Nice job on the spoiler, it will look like an original one off when you get it installed in the spring.
My car is away for the winter as well and it is almost as bad as waiting for it to be delivered all over again.
I hope the joy of getting it out in the spring is almost as great as taking delivery for the first time
and no break in period to worry about

@ AMG, thanks for the compliments... your Vorsteiner trunk spoiler was my inspiration, but just out of my budget. :P
@ Mort, I feel you about not being able to drive the car during winter. I often feel like calling my insurance company to add a day of insurance so I can take her for a spin around the block... hehehe! Spring is not coming fast enough.
