Cool
[QUOTE=Suicide Jockey;14751254]Cool, Nelson! Although this will make it harder now to distinguish our cars at the next drive

Yes, its amazing how many of us have the same great color taste with these cars! My black wheels helped me distinguish mine on the last group drive...

I bought the pepita fabric from Lakewell and paid a local upholstery shop about $800 to do the work. And yes, the seat heaters still work fine.

Roger. Thanks. Has anyone posted a DIY install of the GT4 lip? I'm curious what type of drilling/modifying and types of screws, retainers are necessary to retrofit the GT4 lip to a Spyder.

Man, this thread is so long I fear going through it again. I feel like I've done it three times already. If you happen to run across it will you please post it here again or PM me with it?

No doubt. I just ordered the drivers outside mirror glass with the wider angle view. I suspect the GT4 lip and review camera modifications will be next.

Need to know whether I buy the verticals separately or do they come as a package with the GT4 lip?
I believe comes separate. Suncoast has them on sale separately at least.

Curiously, I checked pricing on the vertical pieces for both the Spyder front lip and the GT4. The GT4 verticals are under $60 each while the Spyder verticals are over $250 each! WTF?

@ SpyderSenseOC and the pictures that SunCoast shows for the two different parts are identical ... with GT4 wheels ... I agree with your WTF comment

And it's not only Suncoast that lists the Spyder verticals at about $250 each. All online vendors do as well. Crazy.
