Re: 1997 Black GTP, SLP Gen 1 Spoiler - Check.

The tips don't even need replaced...they just need flip-flopped and tucked back better.

Shouldn't be more than $25~ at an exhaust shop.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, SLP Gen 1 Spoiler - Check.

Yea.... you are worried about removing the tape off your new spoiler but you want to hack away at the rear bumper to fit new tips...


Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

It's not really that much cutting. If any at all.

Spoiler looking good Dan! Black GPs rule.
Man, when you do get new tips.....GPFs world will stop spinning.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, SLP Gen 1 Spoiler - Check.

K so we got it done. I'll let Dan fill you in on his perspective.

And Mr. Dan helped me in deleting my EGR.. well sort of. It's not unbolted from the headers BUT it is no longer feeding gases into my lim YAY lol.

Oh. and his grounds for gauges and radio were so elegantly taped to the underside of a bare piece of metal under the dash and some had come loose. Apparently one wasn't taped on just right and so Dan had to fix it on our drive to town. Here's pics lol.

I will not be doing that. Thanks though.

A buddy of mine with a welder (same guy who fixed my rust) will weld the new tips on, and cut the little lip on the cutout of the bumper.

Thank you. Black FTW.

The main reason I haven't changed tips yet, is because everyone hates. I like the haters.

The grounds needed to be fixed. No time to waste.

But it was a successful day with Brandon. We fixed my spoiler issue, Brandon ran the power through the firewall into the cabin/engine for my CCFLs, and we half assed deleting his EGR.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, SLP Gen 1 Spoiler - Check.

Projectors are in, and I really do like the looks of the CCFL.









Dem tips & Dat spoiler:






Now I just need some matching HID Fog lights and we are golden.

Ill have those by Mid this week.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Yet Another Update.

Spyder brackets on these headlights blow.

Tightening the headlights down, broke a bracket on each side. The bolts were just "snug" before they broke. So weak.

Headlight bounce for Dayzzzzz.

Okay Ladies and Gentleman.


Now here is where I need your help.

The spoiler is mounted with screws and 3M double sided tape (already came on the bottom of the spoiler).

Almost all aftermarket parts do not fit like OEM parts. The rear part of the spoiler (Near the tail lights) sits perfectly flush the trunk but the front is a different story.

The front of the spoiler (Towards the rear window) has almost an inch gap between the trunk lid and the spoiler itself. So whenever it rains, or I get a car wash, water will pool up under the spoiler with no exit.

I thought about raising the back of the spoiler so water can run under it, but its already mounted with 3M tape. I either need to close the gap with some material, or raise the back up some how.

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.
