Default Done,,,,,, For now.

11 months after bringing my '13 pony home I'm calling the cosmetic mods complete. That may change once I get my eployment situation straigtened out (outsourced effective July 16th) i may go on with some mechanical mods. I can live with the look as it stands

Those the side scoops from AM? Been wary of using mods that stick on with tape still scares me. Wondering if you have had any issues.

Those are MMD Eleanors from AM and there has been zero issue with them. I've taken them through car washes and driven over the speed limit into wind gusts and no problem. Remember that 3M automotive tape is used to mount a lot of things by the manufacturer. I've seen weaker welds

Both the side scoops and window scoops have about 10k miles on them and still won't budge whatever I do.

looks great, huge improvement. What is that on the hood, is that a stripe? Or a shadow.

I think that's a combination of reflection and shadow. I didn't mod the hood in any way.

You aren't done... you just think you're done right now lol. Looks good though!

+1 for 3M tape. I've got about 60k on these huge side scoops on the side of my car, which like to collect large masses of wind and not let it flow anywhere. Still solid as a rock.

At least you added the "for now" disclaimer!
