I like it. Maybe just a tad flatter.

Did you make the brackets?

Too bad the row of clip holes remain. Are they noticeable from a different angle?

i just bought some aluminum L shape brackets and cutting it according to how i like. but at work i cut metal bars that are use for bridges and tunnels...so i used the saw machine at work to cut the brackets...there are two brackets on each side...and yes i had to drill another hole on the trunk to securly hold the brackets from putting more stress on the trunk.....i'll post some more better pics tomarrow....and yes the poiler do hit the antenna when open....but the j's racing gt wing also hit the antenna maybe in the future i'll get a short antenna.....well when i have time i'll do a diy write up for you guys.....just to busy with work now
