UPDATE: Finally got my spoiler installed + sum goodies...

After a day,in May '02, at Six Flags G.A. I decided to drive through the Safari. I Braved the monkey section and had my spoiler ripped off by one of those little rascals. Finally finally finally! I got a trunk lid from an org member(Izzy) and a spoiler off ebay, and finally, did I say finally, its on.
The goodies = flip-flop trunk(ebay) and a 92-94 GXE grill thanks to another org member (njvietb0io). Its on the bottom, p2 of my homepage. Check it out whatcha think?
Don't be shy... pls reply.

The spoiler I used didn't match up with the SE spoilers pre-cut holes. Izzy had a trunk lid from a GXE. But the carpet was installed. The interior make over has begun. Thanks Joe.

Just a quick question, how much for the flip-flop trunk arms? That could be my new project.

The stock white faced guages have holes in them for these plastic pins to go into that are on the backside of the bezel. If you dont drill them or cut them some how the bezel doesn't lock onto the guage cluster. At least in my case. If it doesn't lock then the bezel can't hold the guages down and they will cause the needles to stick/non fluid like movement.

$14.50 from ebay. Bidding started at $9.99 If I would of waited two days I could have had them for that price from a different auction. Don't make my mistake.

No leaks. Washed the car twice since the install and the water seems to be taking its usual trail.

I'd just let by gones be by gones. Don't want to give his comment too much importance. I haven't heard from him since.
