07 Spoiler/Lip Combo/Rear Light Tint

Ok, today I tinted my lights with a kit I bought on Ebay, what a pain in the @ss these are to do. But in the end I think they look good. As for the spoiler I decided to group the two together for know instead of going the route with the whole autobody thing. I don't think it looks all that bad, I like the look of both spoilers together. I know there are those of you who won't but we all have the right to our own opinions, besides the mounting is not permanent, I did'nt bolt it on. Tuesday my RLM bumper comes back from paint, will mount it Thursday then post pics.

Hey man looking good!!!! What made the ebay tints so difficult to install?? I was going to get those too but I had my reservations since I have heard from other members that they are really difficult to install. Let us know what made it so hard. But I definitely think the dual spoiler look is good!!!!

This is the guy I got the tint from.

As for the spoiler light, it was easy I disconnected the third brake light and spliced the spoiler light to that. I do not like the look of 2 third brake lights.

Hmmmmm, not feeling the dual look spoiler. But the ride looks sweet nonetheless.

I guess, it sorta looks like its forced upon, thats y folks arent feelin it, if it were to look more naturally suited to the car, then definitely.

Props up for the work though, good tints.

you only payed 10 dollars to get the tint...?!? was it really that hard to install them or was it just tedious work?

Tedious work, gettting the bubbles out it gets tough where the lens curves at the bottom and middle.

I guess as a short term compromise its not that bad looking. I would think this dual setup could increase the down force too much if new spoiler is not at the designed level.

The small spoiler reduces the drag from .30 to .28. The new spoiler from .31 to .30 on the 2007.

Looks ok. I think it just needs to be flushed with the trunk lid and that's it. I like that spoiler alot.

I installed my spoiler today, but have not been able to connect the light yet.
I disconnected the third brake light, but can't trace the wire from the rear deck back to the trunk. Please explain how you did it.

Please excuse the picture quality;
