molding ain't easy.
if i could do it again, i'd use better materials and a better paint gun. but in the end, i was somewhat disappointed to have put so much work and still see little cracks and voids which i know will only get worse. anyway what's done is done. sigh* this was taken from the yahoo japan auction page (3000 yen buy-it-now  that's less than the cost of the sandpaper!) label behind the lip  test fit one half of spoiler. october 2010  test fit with bumper off  here you can see the gap running along the edge   primary cut   another test fit to see if the lip wraps and reaches the fenders   two metal brackets riveted to bottom of lip  bondo   more cutting and bondo   sanding  shaved holes from front emblem   clear primer  heavy primer   basecoat      primered the grills (then painted with a metallic gray flake)  clearcoat   finished   -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

no it's legit. it was only made for the 94-95 non-gt4 bumpers. that's why it didn't fit.
