just curious to what color paint you used on your blue one cause I have seen diff. shades and yours matches your spark plug wires nicely.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. I know it was brush-on caliper paint. I think Du-Pont made it??

I picked up another truck a while back and a good friend of mine is in the process of cleaning it up and painting it for me. Normally my spoiler hid the carnage but since it's being worked on it's in plain view.

Well, hopefully wearing a condom is enough protection for me... ...the last thing I want is to start rusting myself.

that sucks... if you still have the spoiler id put it back on... after cleaning up that rust with some rust converter or something. still sucks tho... might just have to look for another one.
who ever put the spoiler on the car didnt seal the bolt holes top or bottom

^Yeah, I took off the spoiler so that my friend could match up the holes on my other trunk and paint it to match.

^Honda did it. The holes for the 4 bolts seem to have been preped properly. It was the holes for the brake light that looks like it wasn't preped properly.


Oh, and there's no way I'm spending 400+ on a freakin' trunk. So, CF trunk is out of the question.
