You see, I just acquired a 2004 Coupe in SSB and the previous owner did some curb kissing with the front end. It's pretty bad. But this lip spoiler will cover all the damage!! I was debating between trying to repair the damage myself or just get the whole front bumper painted, but since this will cover the damage it's a helluva lot cheaper than having the bumper resprayed. $32 shipped and, since the seller is nearby, I'll have by the end of the week.

Now to order some matching SSB paint from automotivetouchup.com, do a test fit, cut the "V", make sure it's all lined up - then paint it! A little 3000 grit wetsanding after the paint dries, buff it out, and bingo! All in I'll probably spend $85!!

A huge thank you to Mrmiata, dtinker and others who shared their experience with this piece.

As for my 2005 Aero Blue Roadster, it's had the Cupra R (little phat lip) on for a few years now, and it's staying. This will give unique personalities to both of my Crossfires - I love it!!!


Just had to chime in.. Cupra R is in the living room waiting to go on my newest roadster.. LOL. Just for the same reasoning as yours in the unique personalities department.
