I have an RS coupe Spoiler for it... but I just haven't gotten around to messing with it. I have a spare trunklid I need to repair a dent on, and then I'm going to mount the spoiler up to that one and paint the whole thing. Then I can switch whenever I want.

Sideskirts are also on the agenda, but not very high. I have a set of the plastic moulded mud flaps which I like the look of on the rear bumper, and I have a set of the fronts too. I want to find a way to mould the front one onto the front end of a set of RS side skirts. The OEM skirts are expensive too, and I cracked a set of the fiberglass replicas on my old car in no time.

Wheels, I can't decide on. Thinking maybe a bronze. I've decided I don't want black, at least.

Hmm, I didn't know these existed. I'd be interested in seeing them for sure.

Yes. Even with no back seats in the car, no passthrough cover, and no trunk mat, I notice either the same or less road noise than in the original L car. Rock and sand noise is also greatly reduced from the bedliner in the wheelwells. I'm not sure how good of a sound insulator it would be for audio purposes though, I don't know enough about it.

You've probably answered this already, but my head has assploded from so much eye candy...lol. How much does that bedliner weigh compared to the sound deadening? Looks like it might possibly be a good replacement for sound deadening after seaming a car up

Yea, I didn't weigh the bedliner vs the sound deadening I removed, but I definitely put more on than I took off. However, the 2 gallon jugs I got of the bedliner (which I didn't use all of, don't panic everyone) couldn't have weighed more than 20lbs.

I'd say the weight, at least in my application, was irrelevant. The aluminum hood easily made up for any weight I added in bedliner.

Plus, the weight is way down low so it's in the best possible place if you're going to add weight.

Your pictures are blocked by my employer's internet filter so I'll ask: Are you using fender liners still?

No, I'm actually not running fender liners right now and have had no issues. I am thinking about putting them back in though, to protect the wiring harness sections which run under there.
