I think it would work. First you need to make sure it's wide enough. Second, you might have to do some work to legs. Shave them alittle to conform to the curve of the trunk. I think it would look really phat.

Yeah, like Tony said, you will have to shave the mounting points to fit. But be careful because if they remove too much material the spoiler is ruined. My thruster wing had to be modified in the same way and they barely got it to work. Also, I'm not sure if the wing is wide enough. The new Galant seems to have a narrower trunklid than our cars.

i dunno why no body's done a deck lid?


i think if you get a curved deck lid (aka bomex flat curve type) (similar to say the rod millen GS400 wing or the saleen mustang deck) that would look one -off and if you do it right. also square off the trunk so you can get more angular with the rear kit or subsequent styling of the car in the back.

Can't wait to see the pics William. I don't know about the fit, but if it does fit, I know it would look tight!

that spoiler is a mid wing, you can get one at erebuni for like 250 or something. I have seen this in person and to me the wong just does not look right.
