Are there any aftmkt spoilers that fit the stock holes?

Well like the title says. The factory spoiler on my '89 SE is loose and peeling up like they all do. I'm wondering if there are any tasteful aftermarket options out there, and are there any that fit the stock holes.
or...
Should I buy a non-spoiler decklid that's the same color and put the aftmkt one on there? Thanks in advance for any tips, links, flames or whatever.

Is it hard to put a spoiler from another max onto one that doesnt have the holes?

I think it is probably easier to just buy and SE trunk in the same color as your car. There was a member here that did the opposite -- put a GXE trunk on his SE that had a crusty spoiler.

As for aftermarket spoilers, Stillen has one (Stillen Type 2) that uses the factory holes. It is very similar to the stock spoiler, except it is made of plastic instead of foam and has a long LED brake light instead of the square one that takes the normal bulbs. I have one of these, but I need to replace a couple of LEDs and have it painted to match my car.

Stillen Type 2

I think it was matt that posted this link before and said it was the exact same wing as the stillen type 2 wing but for way less money,said he had both sitting infront of him at the same time.


As for paiting they woudl have to at least had to scuff it up with some scotchbrite pads.

No that was me...I had both and they are identical. Especially in the fact that they dont even come close to fitting the trunk and you have to spend time making it work (fiberglass work).

THEY DO NOT USE THE FACTORY HOLES EITHER. I know someone in this thread said they do but the Stillen or the wings plus spoiler do not use the factory holes.

It does look good though when finished and on the car.

I just got a GXE trunklid after mine started rusting all up under the spoiler. Now that I have rims and a drop I really like the no spoiler look, but if you dont have anything done to your car, try to keep a spoiler on there

Well I've got 17's and a drop, but i still like a little junk ON my trunk. (man I really need to get some pix of my ride up somewhere)
I appreciate all the info/ideas guys.
I think i'll try to find a black gxe trunk and just mount the stealin' or wings plus spoiler on there. I don't like to fudge with body work.
I remember once I saw a copy of a stock E36 M3 spoiler made for our cars, looked pretty sweet. I think it was erebuni. I'll have to find it.
