Moved rear spoiler, Home made ice box,Led plate light~

Hey guy,

Just did some little thing over the weekend, I already did the KN drop removed resonator and 6k HID few week ago, but I think the that intake sucking the hot air is not good so I go ahead and did custom piping for the intake, and also I moved the rear spoiler move rear cause I dont like the rear spoiler when I first got the Si but now I love the spoiler alot more.

finish all the typing please enjoy the picture guy!!

I'd hate to say it, but I actually think that the spoiler looks great like that. Good job thinking outside of the box man.

spoiler looks damn good to me

As far as the intake, I've made a couple like that, but I already have a CAI, so i keep re-doing it to make it better.

+1 for this great DIY. I have thought of doing the same thing as far as extending the tube to the grill, as I am thinking of getting fog lights. Do you know if there is still room to do this if the oem fogs are in place?

imagine u are behind his car looking at the truck. It looks like he moved the spoiler back...to me it looks about 3 inches or so.


OP..how did u do that? I would never do that cuz its not my thing but I am curious. It looks good though. Also, did u put some time of cover or filter/netting over the tube in the grill for the intake? U dont want dirt and bugs going up there

to be honest, I dont feel that much of different but I know there some gain, after I got the tube I felt the car have more response but I think I will get the K&N TYPHOON intake later, trying some like gruppeM $1k intake,later I will have some idea on the cowl plastic panel.....but need to have some extra cash to get a OEM cowl plastic cover so I can play around with lol.....

and yea I was wondering the bug etc. thing after I got everything done....but oh well....

Great job on the extended intake tube. I'd like to try that too but with dual intakes through both of the fog light areas then add some grills. I wonder what the finishing gain is. Great DIY!
