SE Spoiler on a GXE trunk...

Alright, I want to put a stock spoiler on my GXE. Are there imprints of holes to show where you drill already, or do I need to measure it all out still?

Second, on the side of the spoiler, there are these white clips that pop into the trunk. I dont want to drill more holes in, so Can I just bondo it and then use double sided tape to keep it down? The main part is bondo-ing, I don't know if the bondo would stick or not.

Thanks in advanced.

Since this is a topic based on a question i wanted to ask i might as well post it here. My spoiler on my SE is coming up on the ends. I can see the white clippy things he talking about but they are not attached to my spoiler. Is there a type of glue I could use to re connect my spoiler to the trunk or should i drill new holes?

I have used a 2 part 5 min epoxy to hold my old spoiler down. It did a great job even with subs shaking it.

ok Evil Twin, bondo and tape is ghetto. measure up, drill holes and seal the holes.
to Mattster, the reason why the spoiler has lifted at the ends is because nissan didnt know how to make a spoiler for the 3rd gen and it would rote out wich means drilling holes is a waste of time and sheet metel. by a OEm spoiler made out of somthing better then rubber and get it painted and attach it useing the dealer made holes. good luck guy's http://members.cardomain.com/nymax91

I dont have dealer made holes... Mines a GXE.

Or is there a way that I can make the spoiler stronger and fiberglass it or something?

my advice is not to fool with the factory spoiler. It is a poor design and is squishy

Just buy an aftermarket factory looking spoiler. WW makes one, Stillen make a similar one but it takes too much work to make it fit correctly. There are other companies that make them too.
