well...im not an expert at this but the only thing i could tell ya is to use fiberglass and cut to make it fit, then fiberglass it together, and re-paint it. but like i said ill let someone with more experience talk to ya about it.

I thought someone had said these were direct bolt on with the factory holes..... I may be wrong but thought someone said that.

Well I does fit, but the shape of the base of the spoiler does not match with the car. you get big gaps. At least that what I get on my car. -------------------- |

Yeah it does make a difference if its a coupe or hatchback... When I had mine before I sold it, it was only meant for a coupe/convertible... and then i had the other option for one thatd fit a hatchback...
But I use to have that exact same spoiler, but I never put it on my car, cuz well... its a convertible and its too high of a wing for my car...... The spoiler is basically a hard plastic isnt it?, maybe yours is a lil different from mine, it could just be fiberglass... But i dont know... if its fiberglass you can definetly modify it no problem... Hmm... I wonder... can you modify plastic if thats what it is...  Good luck tho... Its looks like a nice wing

I have a hatchback, and the spoiler is made out of ABS (plastic) I hope I can get this on because I reall y wanna see my celi with it. I'll post pics of the car with the spoiler on top so you guys can see what is the problem on graphics.

If it's fibreglass and you are fairly proficient/confident at DIY then you could chop the bottoms of the legs off slightly, and reposition them so the fit snug to the bootlid then fibreglass them on the inside and outside then filler and repsray them?
Not a detailed explanation I know, but its a thought. |

Well, I found another spoiler (the same style) made for the same manufacturer but that one fits perfect on the 6th gen. So I post mine on EBay for auction. I'm asking for 90 dollars at least ) that was what I paid for the spoiler when I bought it from another guy. Now the spoiler is painted but I can't charge extra for that.
So later on I'll get my new spoiler, after I install it I 'll post pics so you guys can give me your opinion. Thanks to all of you anyways -------------------- |
