Thanks, I know what you mean. Why not sell us the whole kit for the headlights.

Let us know how it goes. I ordered the headlight trim rings, installed them and thought it was too much black. There is something about the balance the chrome trim around the headlights brings to the car, with the chrome mirrors and belt line.

Interesting indeed. Does that spoiler replace the automatic one or does it go over top of it? In the latter case would you need to disable the auto up function? Great foggy morning pic too!

Hi Mark,

This will replace the factory spoiler, which will retain it's factory function. Thanks for the compliment on the pic

I imagine that the CF spoiler must be considerably lighter than OEM?

It is definitely lighter. I wish I had weighed the two looking back...I was so excited to see it on the car we just jumped right in.

Hi Severine-

Yes, that is the spoiler. I'm not sure of who would distribute them in France. Try the link I posted for IND in post #263. Good luck with your search. Happy New Year to you and yours

I would never add an aftermarket spoiler to a car

Is what I have always said until seeing this one. That is just the right amount. This looks good enough to be stock, and is just eye catching enough to tell everyone that it isn't. I'm afraid to know how much it cost, but this is truly the first spoiler I've ever seen added to a car that (IMO) was a hands-down improvement. It just looks fantastic both up and down.
