Congrats motorhead! I'm in Iraq right now, so I have no idea what I got, but I'm sure it's not car parts LOL. All I know is that my wife got me something from the jewelers, and the kids got me something also. I'll find out when I go on R&R next month!

Zach, I bought the CDC spoiler off of American Muscle a couple months ago, and it'll definitely need to be painted (came in a light gray). I just went with some outdoor, flat black paint from Wal-Mart (make sure you get the kind that will properly adhere to plastic) and you're set. I put 3 coats on it all the way around and after the third coat, 30 minutes in 80 degree florida heat it was dry, so this time of year it'll be quite a bit longer. The flat black matches our stock rocker panels perfectly.

I also purchased the chin spoiler from AM. The spoiler is light gray. I used gloss black auto spray paint from Advanced Auto Parts. I tried semi-gloss and it was too dull.
You can see the pics in my garage. =-)
BTW, I got a chrome e-brake cover for Christmas. My e-brake handle is hideous looking from all the wear and tear!

So here are the results of my christmas presents....



The chin spoiler has yet to be installed because my dad moved out and took the necessary tools with him; hopefully getting it on tomorrow.

OK so I got the chin spoiler on and it was probably the easiest part to install. Painting it was absolutely no problem. Here it is, my complete Christmas installation:

I need a grill like this one with the pony in the middle and the silver chrome running to the side with fog lights for my son's mustang. Any ideas where I can find one?
