That's the one I have on my '08. Here's a pick from the rear....still need to get some wider shoes on her though....


The Roush spoiler is a nice one though, so I don't think you can go wrong. Just depends on which style you prefer.

Actually, that looks pretty good. way better than the Boy Racer IMO. I see you opted for the winglets. I don't think it would look good without them.

Yeah, and I left them black, so that it would flow well with my SHR Black Anodized fuel door. Still need to get lowering springs though too. Just waiting to do them and dampers at the same time.

Yeah, you got a hell of a fender gap. I just did mine myself a couple of weeks ago. Actually hit the deer the night before I was taking it to get it aligned. You should get the Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber plates. If you are a member of S197forum you can get them cheap through NQS performance. I did a lot of research and I feel that the plates are the only way to go. If you're going to do it, do it right IMO. And don't forget the ON CAR adjustable panhard bar.

Yeah, I originally thought about just doing springs to get it lowered for visual reasons, but the more I thought about it, I just want to do everything at once. Now I just need to decide which items to go with. I've either thought about going with the FRPP suspension, Roush suspension, Steeda suspension, or piecing it together myself. I still need to do some more research though and also look at who I'll have do the install, as I'm not sure I'm comfortable doing the entire setup myself.

I'm OCD as hell and I research day and night when I decide to do someting. I feel that the best, from what I've read and heard from pros, is to do the FRPP springs or Eibach Pros and do D-specs shocks adjustable shocks and struts. And unless you're just cruising, which you wouldn't need the good shocks/struts anyway, use the MM caster camber plates instead of the camber bolts. And of course the panhard bar.

I like the boy racer... remember seeing one up close at a dealership a few years back and the whole body kit looked cool including the wing. Steeda is nice too and I can vouch for the holes needed for the Roush spoiler. Back of my car has 8 plastic hole plugs thanks to Roush's over engineering.

Nice ride. Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to just use the tape on the Roush wing when I get it. The body shop says they have some super duper stuff that is way better than what is provided. I've got a lot of feedback from guys that don't drill the holes and just use the tape and none of them have had any problems out of it doing it that way.
