I'm wanting to remove the oem spoiler on my sedan and was wondering if there was a place that sells new/used parts for the sedans other than the local dealer. Unfortantely it looks like replacing the entire trunk lid is the only way to go if wanting to remove the oem spoiler.

 

Your best bet might be to find someone in your area with the same color that wants to swap. If you post up your color and location you might find someone here.

 

Tried a few months back without much luck. But what the heck...

Ivory Pearl - Both deck and spoiler are in excellent condition.
Location: Michigan

 

Start a new thread asking for a swap. Also have you tried the regional forum?

 

The other thing to keep in mind is the 3rd brake light.
If your's is the factory option, you won't have a brake light in the rear window.
You will have to add one to be legal.

So....
If you find a swap mate, you should consider swapping the
rear parcel shelf (c/w Br light) as well.

 

Great point, I hadn't thought of that.

 

Yeah, I was planning on adding the 3rd light.

Is it possible to remove the spoiler and have the existing lid refinished or will it be too difficult to do a clean job? One local shop here said that they wouldn't touch it and that a new lid is the only way to go.

 

From what I've heard the IP is really hard to match.
I would tend to agree with your body shop.

 

Yeah, they said fixing the holes the correct way would be just as tough as matching the IP color. I guess I'll start searching for someone that is willing to swap or just stick with the spoiler.
