When you put it on can you take some close-up pics? I know some people say it doesn't look that great close up no matter how good you try and put it on... I'm not sure whether I should spray paint the decklid or not... Sounds scary, haha

DO NOT spray paint anything on ur car unless its small or very thin..if you try to spray paint a large piece, it will not come out nice... some areas will be darker and such. get what im saying??? unless you are the best spray painter in the world [8D]

You're going to need to remove your 232 emblem. Make SURE you use a micro-fiber cloth when smoothing out the bubbles. If you use paper-towels, it will leave swirl-marks (found that out the hard way...).The flat black will make the bubbles less noticeable. It took me about an hour, but I took my time. Either go from the middle piece and work your way out, or start with both corners and work your way in. Don't go from left to right or right to left..it will be harder to get everything aligned. A heat gun/blow dryer will help to curve the pieces...

Thanks for the advice, I will probably do it from the inside out

Oh, and the difference between GT and V6 Side scoops is the GT ones... they come all the way up to the door and they're not as flat up against the body...
That's a GT Scoop
