So they were going to paint a new one and ship it to me. That was over two months ago. Literally. Now summer is half over, I've missed two shows, and I still aint got the spoiler. WTF?!

yeah man, i wish i could help out with this problem as well as all the others, some of the shit that ive recieved has been SO SUBPAR

Man, wouldnt know where to begin to find the manufacturers of stuff like that. If you try it, lemme know. I'm in the early stages of modding my car.

haha i am sure i have/can find a connection who can find out for us, i will let you mos def, it would save a lot of people here a lot of money and a lot of bullshit waiting time. i am not even trying to overcharge like the third party vendors, just break even and well call it a day!

With the car off, I pinched the line that goes to the flapper and put a zip tie around it. It sounds GREAT all the time. You gotta do it. I took less than 30 seconds. And the best part is that the zip tie can be pulled right off if you have to go in for service.

reallly? i gotta look that up haha, i have no idea where that line runs from. i think once it opens up on my car, it remains open though, unlike some people who say that it only opens up at higher rpms..

If you look at the drivers side muffler, you'll see the air line that runs to the muffler. You cant miss it!! 30 seconds is all it took me. Some guys put a golf tee in the line, but I just zip tied it. Hence the name, "golf tee mod".

Lowcruzr · 08-10-2009, 10:54 PM

The best part of the golf tee mod is that it burbles and pops under deceleration (which is TOTALLY safe and normal).
