Went to Albrights junk yard in MD yesterday and found me something rad. I offerd the owner $10 , and he said "How about $5?" i was like , "that works!" Since the weather was nice today , i decided to test fit it.



The spoiler had two studs on each end that i couldnt use so i sheared and smoothed them off with my Dremel tool



Measured , drilled 4 holes , cleaned it up and prepped it for paint later at the shop



*Teaser Pic* Painted and installed. Used the 4 remaining studs , tightened the nuts and put 3m tape along the front edge of the spoiler to keep the rain out. Crazy thing is , the studs were damn near lined up with the holes under the trunk lid. Now , can you guess what Make / Model / Year car this spoiler came from?



I will have better pics tomorrow.

I wanna see if any one can guess. There was a guy who has a shop across from us and he knew what it was the second he saw it.

Not even close my friend. The guy who guessed it was older. If that helps.

I'd guess no, based on the rounder end of hatches...

usually coupes/hatches rear parts aren't interchangable because the coupe is more squared.

looks good, it kinda hangs off the end of the trunk a bit though huh? Maybe you can use some of that tape or some weather stripping to fill that gap so no daylight can be seen.
