Your GTS looks so hot I had to log on just to tell you that. Your M4 is the business!! I look forward to seeing it at a future car meet!

Yup, this is the problem with both the GTS and CS. Deal breaker for me. If you can have a manual in a GT3, you can have one in a GTS and CS.

To OP -- car looks good. How does losing the wing affect control at high speeds? Or is your GTS more of an around-town car?

OK, I'm doing this. Pat might, too, but you never know what he's gonna do next. Thanks for the inspiration.

(I would love to know what grommets you used. Picture of the package? Picture of what the trunk looks like up close?)

Sadly I don't have any more photos, car has been sold. A friend at a body shop brought a handful of rubber and plastic grommets, it doesn't look "perfect" but also not hideous. We color matched them to blend in.

No issues at high speeds on highways, etc. Big Wing with RKP uprights goes back on for the track alas, no issues. This is a street/daily/please don't say the words "Fast and Furious" look.

I just finished. I used the Turner Motorsports M4 spoiler and these (perfect fitting) grommets: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
