If you like cats big and small, this is a really cool video!
http://youtu.be/wHN7vJW8t5o
Florida’s Big Cat Rescue’s latest great video tests the feline reaction to seeing themselves in a mirror.
The sanctuary says that their cats spend a lot of time ‘making themselves look good,’ so they wanted to show them the results.
Putting a mirror by their enclosures produced a wide range of reactions, from indifference to some cats trying to reach the ‘cat in the mirror,’ while others ran away.
The cats aren’t seeing themselves as they are, among the animals which fail the ‘mirror test,’ an experiment which many scientists believe shows self-awareness. Big apes, elephants, dolphins and magpies pass the test. Babies (human) pass it at around 18 months old. But vision is not the primary sense for cats — smell and hearing are more important, so what they ‘see’ in a mirror is very far from what we humans do.
Big Cat Rescue says that it’s the world’s largest sanctuary for abandoned and rescued big cats and hosts more than a hundred (including some not so big ones) at its center in Tampa.

I sanded, and sanded, and sanded...
I have one more spot that needs more work to get smoothed out
I'm sure a real Veilside spoiler would not require so much work
I'm also sure the people who buy this knockoff who don't properly finish it, would be very unhappy with the end result
But seriously, who can't sand?
These pics have it lightly taped into position
The angle shot shows a bit of light coming through over the brake light, that won't be there when it is fully mounted
I just love the shape, I love how it really goes so much higher in the center over the brake light
When this is done and that inner detail area in done in black, not yellow, visually my 3rd brake light will be a much stronger visual detail
