Awe... gonna have to be later for that pic.... Lex has the car, she's in Battle Creek... man... I really have to get her a different car to drive to work.

All done!

Here are some pics with it mounted!

Overall... I'm very pleased.

Cost:
Spoiler: $20
Paint: $16
Clear Coat: $14
TOTAL: $50

(I had bought a 2nd can of paint but didn't end up using it so I pulled that out of the cost (which I think I have a purpose for that)).

Very VERY nice indeed!
Excellent work!

Now all you have to do is get that dent on the passanger side rear door fixed.

The car looks great and I didn't think I was going to like the scoop on the hood, but the more I see it, the more I like it.

Thanks man

Yeah... the scoop looked pretty cool to me before, but as the total design in my head starts coming together, it's looking better. I think the spoiler really helps bring balance to it.

Yeah... I know... that rear passenger door... I've began searching the local junk yards in the hopes that I can find a 4-door Lanos in one of them. If I fail in that task I might have to try and order it from somewhere. I don't think I can fix that dent without doing most of the door in bondo... which I don't really want to do.

How do you think it would look if I color matched the outsides of the splash guards to the body? I think it might look good if I did that.

+1

bit off-topic here, but how did u fit the hood scoop? did you have to cut out the hole in the hood? or was it already there?
