Where did you get the Kamei spoiler at? I was thinking of getting the
autobahn spoiler,$160.00, but if the Kamei spoiler is only $30.00 more I
think I will get the better one. I saw that New Dimensions has them on
their price list, but I wasn't sure if they had them anymore. I would
like to put the Kamei front spoiler on my car with the 16v wheel arches,
sideskirts and rear valence. It will take some modifications but I
think it would look pretty cool.
