Here are the pics of my new spoiler

It is a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant Spoiler with L.E.D.
I won it on ebay for $85.00 plus $18.00 s&h from www.spoiler.ws (they sell them on their website for $109.00 plus $18.00 s&h) my local NAPA auto parts store mixed me a pint of Pebble Beige Metallic-it cost me $40.00.....I had a local paint and body man spray it for me he clearcoted it and sprayed it for only $50.00 he did a real good job…me and wife(4 hands are better than two) installed it it took us about 2 hours and it fits pretty good(minor fabricating work and it came out fine).....tell me what you think…comments good or bad.....it is different.....

it is fine in the front but the back is off a bit because of the slope our trunks have but it fits fine to me...no closeups

Looks pretty good, only thing is the mounting points are angled a little off to the trunk lid lines. Other than that it looks great.

That actually didn't come out too bad. The spoiler isn't exactly flush with the trunk but brownie points for originality.

did you try to use a heat gun to re-shape it slightly? that might help get it completely flush but other than that very original and nice...

I like it, the back is really cleaned upand looks more square because of it. If you get really annoyewd about it being a little off then just break out the bondo and get some touchup paint.
