So awhile ago i bought a three post spoiler from coomer and have been meaning to paint it and mount it on my car but...
I am kinda concerned about having to drill holes into my trunk and possibly having water leak in( i live in vancouver/portland, it rains ALOT here) the old "gaskets" on the post are long since destroyed  Is there another product i can use that would act smiliar to the rubber stuff that use to be one the bottom of the posts? How do i know exactly where to mount it? I mean i can get it centered by splitting the difference of the trunk but how do i mark where to drill the holes? OR We can step out of the box on this... What if i cut off the threaded posts coming out of the spoiler and bondo or fiberglassed a peice of metal on the bottom of the post, then put strong magnets on the underside of the trunk to "grab" the bottom of the post and hold them in place? Im talking like industrial magnets with at least a hundred pounds of pull on each one... My only concern with that would be rattling it lose from my subs and scratching my trunk up alot... Thoughts? -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

do you remember when you had a bike. Inside the tire you have the inner tube. I use that to make stuff like that. 10 bucks can get you a lot and you can cut it in sizes you want.
cheapo and nice.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Im not trying to be a dick, but i got more than $2,000 sitting in my trunk and i dont want water leaking in and ruining my subs and amp... bump -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
