I was going to post this in the AFTERSHOCK thread but I decided to post these in their own thread as I am just that damned happy with the spoiler!

I mounted the spoiler last night but had to wait until today to take pictures - I think that the company that I got to paint the spoiler did a pretty good job of matching the paint but I am not expert and some might say I have a biased opinion because I like the look so much. What do you think about the paint match from the pictures?





So, next project is to de-badge, then Van's Vents with back up light covers. Then I am tossing around the idea of the SQ2 with center exhaust and sly valence with the high flow cat and shorty header....that is tentative though.

Many thanks to Rudy at AFTERSHOCK for taking the time to follow his passion for the Solstice and come up with a really beautiful product.

Thanks for the comments, guys - I know that this spoiler is not every one's cup of tea but I think that it is very subtle and unpretenscious. I have not made a lot of modifications but when I saw this one, I had to have it.

Sly is why!

Cheers

It looks like the color was match perfectly from what I see and I do like this soiler,it shows the curves of the tail better than the stock.Like most guy's I like to see those beautiful curves when I look at a pretty tail.

The spoiler is one thing that I had to have as well. For me though it might have had something to do with the fact that as a Canadian I couldn't have a spoiler.

Nice one Miner!

Now if my car would only come in...

Looks great Miner! Hopefully us Calgary folks will get to see it in person this summer sometime. If the snow ever decides to go away!

Thanks. pj-33. I know exactly how you feel because I felt the same way myself about spoilers. This one I felt different about, though and, as Sly Bob, I knew I had to have it on my car.



So where have you been hiding? I have seen some Sols on the road but I guess they are mostly parked now due to this white stuff.

I went to the opening night of the opera Tosca at the Jubilee last night and could not believe my eyes when I came out and saw a cool Sky sliding out of the parking lot in all the snow. I guess for some people having a winter vehicle is not an option so I guess that I should count myself fortunate.
