Alex and I got busy in the garage today...

Basically, I had a spare hatch, we removed the normal rust under the brake light rust, started to repair it, and ditched the factory spoiler... We decided to completely fill the spot where the 3rd brake light is on the hatch, its begging for rust again anyways, so were are going to smooth it, and decide what to do with it later (yes we realize it may look funny without the grey trim, but the problem is we can't completely smooth that area because then it looks funny where the fenders meet the hatch... we'll figure it out though)
We then got a 200sx spoiler, removed the center pillar and cleaned up the under neath to look pretty, centered it and then we mounted it - In person it looks very very nice..... I'm jealous again....
Techy info:
1. It doesn't bolt up drilling holes is requiered lol.
2. We did reroute the 3rd brake light wires to the right side of the wing so it will function (if u've taken a spoiler off a 200sx it comes through the center normally)
3. We are using fiberglass to fill the majority of the center gap, and will bondo the rest.
4. It was because we were bored.
5. No, I didn't, nor do I condone putting stripes on a car :-)
