Installed a new rear diffuser and tips. Was a nightmare trying to get everything aligned and perfect but it eventually got done. Very satisfied with the results. Looks really aggressive in the rear of my PP2.

I gotta ask. How do you get out of the car once parked in the garage? That is a good look though I like it. NIce job.

Got my new wheels on today, slight issue though. the lug nuts work from my old wheels, I want them on it. but the sockets! will not fit into the hole to tighten them down. I have a 19mm thin wall socket, its like the same size as the hole, so damn close. but no cigar.

is there an awesome ultra ultra thin walled 19 or 3/4 socket? I dont know which is bigger or smaller, but both those sizes fit this lgunut.

Don't know about the socket, but are the new wheels made for a 60 degree conical lug nut? Many (most?) aftermarket wheels aren't.

So they put lugs on it, where the lug nut kinda of stepped down. but it wasn't seating right, pulled it out and it is beveled just like this. so this is the shape of the new lugs Discount tire put on, seems to work. I need to find the correct lugs if this shape isnt correct, but I had the wheels off earlier to examine and the lug holes on the rims, match these perfectly.

Test fitting of trunk "lip" spoiler. It looks pretty good to me. with trimming (and repair or replacement of the flawed portions) I think I can live with it.

I was completely satisfied with the one on my 2006 convertible, and just a little less so with this taller one, that might be seen as approaching "wickerbill" status. "Gurney flap" in my lexicon.

The flaws are a result of the surface layer or glaze pulling off with craft tape used to hold this rubber thing in place while measuring and evaluating its stance. I'm torn between leaving it full length or trimming it to trunk-lid width.

Any road, it'll pull off easily enough, if I don't like it, and cheap enough to throw away. Resisted the impulses to get available colors or carbon fiber versions.

I removed my spoiler today. It was only held on with 3M tape. But, with my physical disability, I did not get to install it properly. So, it was starting to lift off due to the tape losing adhesion. I spent over an hour outside in the 25F weather removing the tape. But, at least it helped my anxiety about it. I hope to get it installed properly by a shop. But, I am also considering just getting a drill mounted spoiler and have the shop do that.

Here is yesterday after getting my snow wheels and tires mounted. Just in time for the storm coming Saturday night.

Yesterday I participated in my first auto-x of 2020. Had a couple hiccups but by the end if the day I got it figured out and was putting down ok times.

Currently, im sitting on a plane waiting to go to Auto Club Speedway to coach a track day in Fontana.
