Yesterday, FINALLY got the M-tech spoiler installed. Purchased used, professionally painted and installed for a little less than purchasing a new one.

I still need to get the emblem for the spoiler. I ordered one from Tischer, but it has two studs on the back, which makes me think that it's for the side moldings. Does anyone know if there's a different part number for the emblem that goes on the spoiler, and if it's a different size? I could just cut off the studs and attach it, but would prefer to use the correct emblem if one is available.

Today, installed the Mason Engineering front strut brace.

Sorry for not washing the car before taking pix, but it looks like Mother Nature is preparing to wash everything today anyway.

Thanks! You know where to get them, right?

I'm fighting the urge to decorate it. LOL Luckily, I don't have any ideas at the moment.

Started polishing my valve cover and intake manifold. This will take a few weeks since I can only devote an hour or so every couple days.... Can't wait until this is all finished

grrrr... When I took the pic of the strut bar, I realized how filthy my engine bay is. Now you've got me thinking I need to clean it up. My back hurts just from thinking about all that leaning over into the bay. [sigh]
