Decay Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I got it today, the STI Trunk Lip Spolier direct from Japan! I paid 57750 yen ($540 USD). I saved on the shipping and customs and taxes by having a friend who was coming back bring it back for me on the plane. Unfortuantly, I am in the middle of moving from one place to another, so I have no time to put the wing on right now. I will post pictures when it is on. For the meanwhile, here are photos of the wing as it came. (the arctic white pearl is the same as the satin white pearl) enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 do you have any installed pics yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 He hasn't installed it yet because he's moving :). I'm glad you got everything sorted out with shipping and pricing, Decay. I can't wait till you install it. From the looks of the spoiler, it looks like you have to drill holes in the trunk lid? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I can't wait to see it on the car. It's got me wanting one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Looks pretty sweet I have to say. Sounds like you got a great deal as well. Hope the install is straight forward for you. Adam.

B4_Maniac Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Yeah, I was also wondering if that was a JDM back massager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05GT Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Cant' wait to see the install pics and instructions(so i don't have to guess when i do my own)... As far as the brake light.... will/can you use the existing wiring for the middle brake light behind the rear windshield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Very nice! Does anyone know what is the performance improvement with this spolier and the front lip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 That is indeed a JDM back massager (lol)! I haven't had a chance yet to take a look at the brake light assembly, but it comes with a sticker you put over your exisiting third brake light so you don't ahve to disconnect the light and you won't see dual lights. There are really cheap looking japanese instructions included, I'll see if i can scan them and post them cool paper template comes with it too so you know exactly where to drill holes in your trunk.

c_hunter Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 If you do drill them yourself, be sure to use an awl to lightly dimple the metal before drilling. Drill bits love to dance and skip around on painted sheetmetal as you start the hole. Also consider drilling a small hole and using a hole enlarger bit to bring it up to size.
