They're painted but I havent installed yet. I thought they were ready but there's still a lot of room for improvement. Also the black pain't didnt match either so I'm gonna do more sanding and try to find a better matching paint. Here's what they look like now....

Ps don't mind the missing tire letters lol
Hell it looks pretty good to me!

I tried to tell you guys about the gap... oh well. I would really try to find a different solution to fix that gap. that "filler" piece looks so out of place and doesn't flow with the side skirts, just looks like an arbitrary add on or quick fix which is what it is. Not trying to be mean or harsh but you don't want something small like that to detract from the rest of the car. If you are ok with that little patch then it really doesn't matter but at least clean up the lines and surface it. If it was me I would find a better solution but in the end its all up to you and what you are ok with. Just giving my honest constructive criticism.

Lol its anything but a quick fix, and I myself think it'll flow very well with the front splitter being that the splitter is a bit higher than the rockers so this will help it play along a little bit at least. Also I like I mentioned above, I'm still not satisfied with it so I'm still going to work on it til I am. I appreciate you criticism though

Yeah I understand its still a work in progress, and I tend to be very optimistic with the timing of my own projects. lol I just modified my spoiler and thought it would take 2 days, in reality it took 5. Just wanted to see if you were thinking about the rest of the car and not just that little area. I love it when people go out of their comfort zone and do stuff like this, earned a lot of respect from me and I like to see these things turn out well so sorry if I came off kinda harsh. Automotive design and sculpting is my professional career and hobby so its hard for me to not mention things when I see them. As I said above its great you are thinking about the flow with the splitter, and its a good start. Just take your time and make it look nice and you will probably even surprise yourself with how well it turns out. Most Importantly, make it how you want to and have fun!

Did you see Slick3's thread? Have you thought about going with his solution?

It's cool no worries. Yea this is my first time doing something like this so Im really just winging it lol. I'm gping to try going less rounded and more straighter edges . I've just been a little lazy but hopefully it turns out how I'm picturing it. Thank you for the kind words

Yea we've been talking for a bit, helped him with the install but I've put in a bit of work already into my fix so I wanna try and finish it. If it doesnt come out how I want it, that'll be my next choice unless 5gendiy comes out with something

No problem! And I agree with the roundness. If you have any questions just ask, I just finished modifying my blade spoiler.

Yep and I got the rockers for $480 + tax from my dealer! They matched Matt's price with no shipping charge! So after all is said and done I will be in it for about $1100.
