I'll try and repost the picture
Gotcha. That car. I have no idea what spoiler it is, but he’s on “Chevy Cruze & Sonic World” FB group. You may want to ask there.

Is it just resting on to of the OE one?

Under it. He made custom brackets. It looks like the front of the honda spoiler is flush with the stock spoiler.

I forgot to post progress photos here the other day. Oops. A small thing, but I set my camber in the rear to -2.0°. I’m going to get the front matched to that soon, then I’ll order my wheel spacers.
These pictures were taken before I’d evened them out completely. They’re both -2.0° now.

The original owner sold it and I raced the new owner. It is quick.
Anywho, back to Nataphen's post.

I look forward to when you have the wheel situation all finalized. But let's be honest, in the car world, nothing is ever finalized cause that would just be boring to not have anything else left to do to it.I forgot to post progress photos here the other day. Oops.

It’ll probably never be finished. I have an idea of what I want, but I’ll keep messing with it.
The tuning situation looks to be narrowed down to the LS7 coil kit, so I’ll be progressing without it for now. I think Jerry wants me to try replacing the plug wires first, because I did have one come apart on me this last time that I took them off. That may have been bad the whole time, or maybe I just broke it because I was pissed and burning my hand. [emoji15]
For now, all stock parts except that the flex fuel sensor is enabled. Running well, and I’m waiting on an email to tell me what parts to install next.

He was always very vague with his replies and never gave specific models except for the wheels.

Does this look right?

I think so. He heavily modified it though to be smooth. The picture of the car is wrong as they have a different wing on that specific picture. All the other ones on that link you sent are right though. If I'm a betting man I'd say that wing they'd send it right.

I tried new MSD plug wires on the LS7 coils to see if that would fix the issue, and no changes. BNR had me send a log in to see if they could tell if one coil was misfiring. It’s either a coil or the wiring harness. Stiiiiiiiill working on it before the tune can progress.
The repairs from the wreck have been started. The car is torn down and parts are on order. Just chillin in the Nissan Rogue rental for now.

Just found this thread. Seems you weren't able to keep the mods from the green car. But if you still plan on doing the same mods you'll be pleasantly surprised with the gains with the BNR tune. You'll see at least 1 to 1.5 seconds off 0-60 time probably more on 93 octane alone. I have most everything you did including a wastegate but with the exception of the coils, and ported intake manifold and took almost 3 seconds overall 0-60.
You really don't reap the benefits of the mods you had on the green sonic until you get a tune as the stock tune fight everything you added. But looks like you knew that.
Looking forward to your progress.

Thank you. The old one was gray, but I did get to remove all the modifications from it. I just haven’t reinstalled them yet. I should have a final answer on the problem with the LS7 coils after BNR gets my last email from today. Then, I can move on to adding my other parts and finishing the tuning process!

That's awesome. I did a test of all the individual mods 0-60 and posted them in the link below. Not sure if you'll do the same but would be interesting to see your 0-60 results on your manual especially the ported intake and intercooler with BNR tune before and after. I don't have those and would be cool see the gains.
And the overall time isn't important as long as you use a device that's consistent to. See the gains. I used a Dragy for its consistency and accuracy but found my galaxy with the torque pro app with OBD2link was within 1-2 tenths of Dragy but was consistent. Just the 1/4 mile on the torque pro app was about .8 high but consistent.
