hmmm coupe trunk is flat like debra messing. iirc the hatch is a wee bit curved, im not saying it wont go on but it might need some lovin from a grinder/saw. match the 3 mounting point to the curve of the hatch, drill away and done. it is 3 pieces, two outer mounts/supports and the wing with the light in the middle support. the middle needs a large, rust-inducing hole to run wires thru.imo, the flat wing belongs on a flat coupe trunk. might look off on a fb....eh whatev-Enzo

How would a spoiler from a 97+ eclipse look on my fastback?

No offense, but in my opinion, the spoilers on the Mitsubishi Eclipse serve only one purpose - to spoil the look of your car.

Heh.

Anyway, I picked up the R33 Skyline spoiler for mine, fitted it on, and it looks beautiful. Check it out for yourself.
