One of the cleanest and nicest looking Crossfires around! Great job man.

By the way are your taillights tinted or did you paint them?

John.

softballjunkie, that looks excellent..... if you did the section of the hatch between the window and the license plate also I think it would be even better..... especially with the Aero Blue wing .....

Thanks guys. As for the hatch area we'll see.

Kolveski, the tails are tinted.

Looks fantastic, like i knew it would.

Have you washed it yet with the new roof? I just wonder if it will be difficult to get it streak free, or if that will not even be an issue....

Looks great dude. Personally if I had the ***** to do this I would continue down the entire rear panel (the part the spoiler attaches to).

Either way though, cool!

So I'm going in tomorrow to do the rear hatch since I have some extra vinyl leftover. So u guys are talking about the area above the license plate area and the section that the spoiler bolts into correct?

How hard is it to take the spoiler off? A few bolts?

The spoiler comes off pretty easy.... just pull the interior surround for the rear window... then you can take the spoiler off by removing 4 bolts and you can remove the mounting plate by taking 8(?) nuts off... this will be a great time to redo the seals around the wing bolt holes and the mounting plate seal too.... black RTV gasket stuff works good..
