Thanks. Not sure I would do a spoiler, but interesting.

Thanks. The Interior Color is called "Berry". Some people call it Red, but it is richer than Red. One of the things that sold me on this car.

I ordered my trunk lip and should have it in about a week or so. They had to special order the paint color #777. I am very good with details, do you think I can install this when I get it or do people use their body shops to install them?

Thanks for the suggestion and support! I will post new picture once installed.

Lip/Shouldn't cost more than an hours labor at a body shop, $45 to 60 max.

What kind of trunk lip you purchased ? Most of them have 3m double sided tape that takes 5 seconds to installed !

If you question for one second whether you can put it on centered, take it to a shop. For 50 dollars you get your car back with a lip on the trunk thats straight and looks factory.
I agree, its a piece of cake to install, straight not so much.

I thought your car is from Delaware. What's with the euro plate? Is real or a fake?
