How good is the Rear Spoiler on that thing ...... Not. Was interesting the amount of bits there. Did you get the front spoiler with it?

[drifta1600]

yep got the spoiler :-) should look good :-) i figured, i was going to buy all the bits seperate,- gearbox, fly wheel, pedal,master cylinder, bonnet, spoiler, front gaurd, sway bar, r200 diff/shafts- but getn this worked out heaps cheaper, and i can sell stuff of that i dont need! so its a win for me and the bloke i got it off :-)
