    So, did a few things today...

    Took the roof rack off to fix it. It's been noisy since I installed the spoiler. Found that the drivers side front mount was extremely loose. I also tightened up the spoiler. While it was off I took the drill and a buff pad to the rack and shined it up (at least the underside of it) Looks a lot better and will work on the topside tomorrow. Also took the 3rd brakelight out and polished it up. Found that the light had the wrong bulbs (912's I think) in it and had melted the housing slightly. One bulb was also out.

    Gonna do a bunch of detailing over the weekend. I love this car! So glad I finally got it back. Gonna do some painting on the brakes if I get the time. I want to paint the hub section of the rotors black, and paint the calipers red (ricer yay LOL). Will also paint the wheel spacers black. Gonna respray the rad brackets and the fender support bars too.

            Did you try silicone on the screws? that helped when I had my old mustang just dab a bit on the screw then screw it in.

                I took the whole rack off and tightened everything down. It's just the actual spoiler. And yeah, if I go faster it quiets down. Wondering if putting a support in the center of the spoiler will help.
