For all you yellow cars, I have an awkward question. I can park my car in the driveway, and come back an hour later and bugs will be all over it. It happends all the time, and only to my car. Not my gf's, not my parents, no one. It seems bugs are attracted to my yellow car. When I parked to take those pictures, 30 minutes later I came back there were were probably 3 dozen fly insects on it, and they were all dead. This happen to anyone else?

Niice! That looks sick. The rattling was probably coming from the stock spoiler... I know mine rattled like hell with the 1000 subs on... GT500 spoiler fixed it.
Yes, alittle bit, but it mostly sounded to be coming from behind the subs. I could put my hands back there and push on everything, but I couldnt find anything loose though. Oh well, it's gone!

Nice glad to see another Maryland car on here.
I'm near Cumberland...you?

That is just weird!! I'm certainly no expert on bugs, but could it be the kind of wax you use or perhaps some other chemical smell that comes from your car that attracts them? That doesn't explain why they would die. Boy, that's a good one! I leave the car in the driveway sometimes when I'm doing other work in the garage and never noticed this here in MA. Could it be that our flys aren't suicidal. LOL!

Looks sick, between that and the GT500 are the only spoilers I would put on my car. I currently have no spoiler!

have you had any issue with your spoiler bowing up in the middle on the trunk when you've had your car parked out in the sun? I've had mine on since day one (2007) and this summer I started having bowing problems, when it cools it always goes back flat and it looks as if nothing has happened.

It'd weird man, I definitly can't figure it out. It's always a bunch of bugs, and they are always mostly dead. This past time it was little fly insects, but for awhile it was small beetles about 1/4" across, and before that it was mosquitos.

Edit: I dont wax my car :S
