Spring job is best suited for a weekend, if anything goes fubar you have time to replace. Also its best to do during daylight outside.

Just be patient and wait for a weekend to free up you will thank me later.

+1, I don't like feeling rushed and there is always the possibility of a seized bolt or something.

No problem man, glad I could help out someone in need. Your timing was good, someone else was trying to buy them but was wasting my time and low balling me at the same time beside I think I have two more sets

I would do the brake stomp ECU reset method and drive it a bit to get things burnt out and then see how it goes.

If i didn't have to get this turbo rebuilt I would buy these in a second. With some 10mm spacers these would be nice.

Thanks! Still a lot of work left to do. No idea what it would take to reproduce. That was a Mint Blue replica spoiler that I have reshaped. I plan to do more shaping this weekend. If all goes well then I will post pics sitting on the trunk from a few angles.

That looks like my Vertex a little bit. I'm also artistically blind though. edit: Speaking of Vertex, I think Sifu is about to part out his car due to engine kaboom. I'm not sure if he is getting out of the rx8 game or just going with a different engine or what, but he won't sell me the Vertex bumper. :'( He said he is just gonna put it up on his wall like a trophy.

The Vertex is smaller and wraps down the rear fenders. Plus it has a much different shape. Mine will sit solely on the trunk.
