Which is why it doesn't sit flush when down and looks odd. I like it up, but my OCD wouldn't be able to handle the way it looks when down.

Definitely looks better on your black car, though

I still haven't gone over a 100 or anything in the car but t still feels the same at highway speeds.

It's not bad, The gaps between the wing and the trunk and rear bumper are perfect but I hate how the wing sits a good 3-4mm higher even when the wing is down

I never hit triple digits anymore and I like the look of this one. I planned to make my own out of fiberglass or carbon fiber, but modifying this one may be easier. My biggest fear is that the gaps would be more obvious on my white car.

I don't suppose you have any pictures of the upper portion from below...?
Is it plastic or fiber?

Edit: I like the shape of the wing, but would also retain the air dam spoiler. A hybrid...

DO IT! If you can find a used upper and lower cheap enough, I'm pretty sure you can modify t a bit better to sit lower and more flush. Another thing is that the wing sits better on the pre-facelift rear bumper IMO. You don't have that big gap in the rear you usually have on the 03+ rear bumpers.

I want to know why no one has commented on the Faux egg nest or the ashtray on the table. Totally missing the opportunity for some wonderful comments.
