I installed a spoiler.
Where did you get the spoiler? It's the first one I've seen for a base model model front end.

You're right it is from ebay.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300559071507?...84.m1497.l2649

Cheap ( under $50 ) and easy to install with a few self tapping screws.

Whole install took under 30 mins... but the item wasn't an exact fit as advertised and did require some minor trimming.

It is also made of a paintable poly-urethane so you can match your car

Changed out the hood struts and cleaned the air filter. For those who may not know, the air filter housing has four snap openers, one on each side of the air box. I had to loosen some things to be able to reach all of them.

I repaired a broken headstock on an old cheap bass one time and touched up the paint with rust-oleum and bufed it out.

It looked better than the cheap factory black! It buffs out quite nicely!
