Here is what I have seen over the decades and why I keep my stock parts for a while:
When some folks buy a limited car they really want a nice stock example that they can either collect or enjoy as it came from the factory. If someone has a slammed car you might keep some buyers away from the...
Its not only centered left to right, but front to back as well. Take your spoiler and put it on a flat surface and make sure both ends of the spoiler touch the flat surface. I had one Rexpeed replica that was warped from the factory.

Darn - didn't know that the donor clone ECU's are unobtainable for now.
All I want is to get some extra power and be able to run my catless downpipe while passing emissions OBD test.
Good to know that with the "cracked" ECU we can still run Ethanol - just without the ability to adjust on the fly.
I grew up around car dealerships, had family in management at Honda, Acura and Lexus.
Of all of the salesmen that I ever met, only about 4 of them were decent people who had staying power. The rest were transient garbage who I wouldn't even want delivering my daily newspaper.
