looks good!
I understand your concern about not wanting to attach the brackets to your paint but will they have enough grip if attached to a 3M clear tape? How secure is the tape attached to the car's paint?

When you had the CDC chin spoiler painted, did you install the 3m clear bra over it. I havea painted one installed and alreadyit is getting paint chips. Is there a template availablefor the chin spoiler so you can buy the 3m clear bra in bulk and cut to fit?

Looks pretty good. I have roush louvers and a cdc aggressive chin spoiler waiting to get put on. Just need to let the weather get a little warmer. Did your templete fit well for the louvers? I read yesterday that someone complained that the templete was off......

I got the CDC for Xmas, before it was painted I had my 3M clear bra guy make me custom pieces. There is no template for this, he custom made it in three pieces, left, right, and center, and wraped it around the bottom edge. I didn't want to give it to him painted because I didn't want to take the chance of it getting scratched. He prefered to have it installed when I returned for the application. I installed it at home, then drove 1.5 miles down the road where I left the car for the install and tint. It came out awsome, I took many pics to show you guys, but I wasn't able to get a shot of a seam.
My Roush louvers went on without any problems. I used a very sharp xacto knife to cut the templates out. My best advice, take your time and make sure you know exactly where, and in what direction the brackets go, before the install. Another piece of advice is make sure the template is flat, no creases, creases with make the template shorter in some areas, transfering to a inproper fit. I took an iron and ironed them out useing a towel as a buffer in between. If they're a little damp, no prob, just wait until they dry. When you install the template use 3M blue painters tape. It is MOST important that you FIRST align with the door jam and roof line, then work the template back towards the rear of the car, keeping the roof line true. I just did it yeserday so if you have any trouble, let me know.
If you men haven't read yet, I also has my 3M installer make me the Roush louver pieces.
