thanks for asking. They were custom ordered from my friend at EUROteck. I showed Neal the design and he had them made. They were a sponsor of this site back when I joined in 2005. They are the stock size.

True. Probably because I created my own reality.

it was not OEM. I purchased it on a custom site. Cannot remember the brand. The only OEM for the roadster was from the GTR roadster and it was very expensive.

The front was decided by the wrap shop. I wanted some extra protection from chips beyond the clear bra so I had them go high. My commute is on country roads. The sides and back follow the body creases/lines in the car.

You made a unique car more unique, and protected the car at the same time, I like it. I didn't know how expensive wrapping has become. My car will have to sit outside, not sure what type wrap I'll do. Or I might just cheap out and ceramic coat it myself (I know, ceramic coating is just sturdier wax). How did you get your eurocharge flash done? Happy I assume?

Just a heads up, but vinyl wrap offers barely any additional protection. It's basically paper thin.

Thank you, it’s an eye catcher. Especially in the F1 colors. The bottom wrap only covered some flaws and easy to touch up. The tune was easy with the hand held. And now sooooooo fast.

If you don't mind, I would like to know more about the spoiler. Brand and model, and more importantly, what was involved with installing it. I'm interested in one but hoping to find a way to take some of the DIY out of the DIY.


Thanks.

Thanks.
I got mine on Amazon. Here’s a link to the same. Amazon was out. Here’s the same one on ebay. Required 4 holes in the factory spoiler and spoiler delete software on the car to keep it from raising at 75 MPH. Quality is excellent.

And installed software that keeps the spoiler from lifting at 75 MPH. It works out very well.

Didn't realize that Amazon or eBay was so much a custom site. Pretty bold to purchase an inexpensive wing for a KIA and bolt it onto your factory AMG GT spoiler. Glad it came out ok for you.
