BIG PIX of recent things.
hey all,
well i have got some new things to the goose,
1) 2 new bose speakers (on the deck) old ones died
2) racing break fluid
3) new rear break calipers w/ cross drilled Rs
4) a little lip spoiler, for kicks
5) new seat belts.
6) and a quck wax
everything was insatalled by my machanic but my speakers, i decided to get my hands dirty a little bit on my car.
it was quite a challenge figuring out how to take the carpet out from the deck, but after some contemplation, i got it out and only cut my self twice.
and i decided to take out the deck lids for cleaning
here is the racing break fluid, it has a higher boiling point so now i wont burn up my break caliper again yay!

I might be wrong, but it looks like the M3 spoiler. Here is one listed on Ebay. It looks great by the way.

....I like it........look clean.... .yes i did,
and they guy sent me two of them, and i had them both painted red. teh reson for that, is that i wanted it to be as far back as possible on teh boot lid, so the guys at the paint shop had to trim it a little, but they painted both of them incase i did not like the trimmed one, but it looks great!
cost about 100 bucks to get it painted.
so does anyone want to buy the other one?
i got mine for 75 bucks, i did not want to get the Asia one, (shipping takes long time/ and the money)
name a price,
MR. brabus i think you are in So cal, i could drop off.

Mark:
If you are describing the part I think you are describing, it is usually an in-stock dealer item that is actually pretty cheap. I broke one a while back and House of Imports in Buena Park had them for about $1.50 each, so I got about 5. If you go to F. Jones, I am pretty sure they won't charge you much more, even with the Newport Beach address.
