You should've ask around first, many members here probably would've traded trunks with spoilers for no extra cost. It's probably about 50/50 with people that likes the no-spoiler look, that's just my guess.

fugg it.. man up and do it urself... well spoiler is easy.. the only thing is u have to drill but if u measure properly then u have nothin to worry about/ as for overlay and shaving ur trunk and puttin in new emblems.. that's just ridiculously easy. Hair dryer/heat gun and floss/fishing line. Heat , floss, heat, floss, then wipe down with bug and tar remover or goo gone, wax it and ur done. overlays are quite simple.. there are tutorials on youtube and here as well.. plus most overlays come with instructions.. there is even a spoiler install DIY on this forum.

i say save ur money for other mods, ur gonna pay more than what u bought all those items combined to get them installed at a shop.
