Two weeks ago i bought a spoiler off of ebay. It was listed as a TRD spoiler but you guys informed it was actually a hiro repilca. I still boughht it because i like the look of that one. I had problems with the guy when i recived it because one of the bolts was stripped and it said it was in great condion but there were scratches and a few dents. Talking with the guy was going nowehere. Last week i had it painted and yesterday i went to have it installed on my car. Here is the problem the spoiler was somehow crooked. It does not even sit falt on the ground. I dont have a picure but one side would sit flat on the ground and the other would sit at an upward angle. The holes lined up were the bolts go in. Yes, im am bringing it up with ebay and paypal and no matter what happens im still out the money for paint. has any on seen anyhthing like this? Thanks for the help.

heat gun... carefully apply heat to the body of the tail and try to mold it

WOW so you think that using a heat gun on a spoiler is hard to do? seriously unless you sit the thing directly on the spoiler for a long time its not going to melt it, keep moving and it wont burn, bubble or char, but if you want to spend MORE money and wait MORE then go ahead...or heat and fit your spoiler for half an hour

i dunno about the coupe 2 post spoiler but the 3 post only has 2 holes for bolts and from what i understand if it has 3 bolts its used for the hatch it also might be easier if u take a picture of it on your car cause the coupe and hatch r totally different when i got sent the hatch the mounts didnt come anywhere close to fitting my coupe so if its close it wwill fit with some work
