I was looking at that wing also! I bet it would look good, but it is a little thin for me. Would be best if you didn't already have a wing (doesn't look like u do) that way you won't have to fill in any holes on your luggage lid.

plus have it painted

it looks like it would fit fine just find out how wide your deck is and how wide the post on the spoiler are. worse comes to worse it might hit your antenna when it opens but if you can get a good deal on it go for it.

A tip of advice if you do get it before you drill check you measurements and than check them again and if you are like me have a friend check it too. it never hurts to be safe other wise you'll have to fill the holes and start over. TAKE YOUR TIME. i did one on a old car i had it was barley off and nobody could tell but i know and that's what drove me wild!

At least your spoiler isn't coming off on one side. It's the first thing people notice when they see my car . I think this spoiler would look nice, but I don't really have the know-how or the time to fill in the existing holes.

Mine did the same thing so i shaved mine off i just fiber glassed them in.

well if you aren't to good at body work you could do it the cheesy way and take several small pieces of sheet metal and JB weld them into place and use a SMALL amount of bondo to fill in the difference that not the best way to do it but since they are small holes it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

PS i have always wondered when it comes to donating is there a difference in between donating $20,25, 30, 40 or 50

Has anyone tried to just fiberglass the spoiler back onto the trunk? Mine's barely hanging on and I thought about that this weekend... I figured I'd ask before I f* it up and end up with no spoiler and fiberglass resin all over the place.

well if you don' threw resin everywhere and you sand it back down don't know it might not come out too bad. the key i found with fiberglass is taking your time!!! if you do post a thread with pics. although it might just be easier to just fab up some brakets to make them connect again since more than likily it's the retaining brackets that broke or rotted away (like mine) or just buy a used one on ebay or a local yard

To stick it back down, I read in a FAQ on here or someones page to take it to an auto glass place and get them to put the windshield epoxy on the underside then C clamp it down.

Also sorry guys but that wing is mine now I am not even 100% sureI am going to use it yet though. We worked out a trade as far as i know and going to cross ship on tuesday

spoilers are for the 180mph plus cars, or for the drivers always play with thier ebay car alarms.

spoilers come into play as low as 50 mph depending on the cars design.

spoilers are not cool, waste of money, buy a wsp y pipe or get something that you can gain power with
wing = more weight, and looking stupid
wingless, or get an SE spoiler, STOCK@!

I know, thats what I'm looking for, stock SE or aftermarket SE look-like with LEDs but I guess you didnt understand my sarcasm.. I dont know if I want to put any performance in my car beside CAI and/or y pipe since my g/fs dad says my tranny aint as solid as it should be...now what I would like is to do a 5 speed swap once this tranny goes but I'm definately good need someones help with it.
