Hi, Perry!

You know, I think I agree with you. The spoiler would look best with NO lights. The clear display is ridiculous, though. Right now, there are three cars in my office parking lot with spoilers. All displays are RED. Prototype my @ss. What were they thinking?

 

Hi, Anthony!

LOL at your name. My mother used to call me that when I was little just to irritate me. Everyone always thought I was a boy from my name. Hell, they still do. Love getting mail addressed to Mr. Toni.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a Blue_batmobile? Is that a user name I should be PMing or a website I should be visiting? And how is an overlay different from a spoiler? Desperately in need of an education here. Just wait til I'm ready for those rims . . . you guys are gonna be in trubble!

 

does anyone have pics of the clear lights?

 

Toni,
He's a member / sponser who specializes in creating overlays for headlights, taillights, etc. These are generally a smoked / colored plastic (not sure what type plastic) that get applied over the light housings to change there color and appearance. Just do a search on his name or on overlay. I've never used his products - just seen him mentioned numerous times.

Good Luck!

Anthony

 

Wherethey don't fit right is on the driver side, near the console, leaves a little gap there, back right, yeah, it's close, but if you dishing out the money for new mats, they might as well be correct, if they have wheat, then that should fit perfectly.

 

Well, okay, today I noticed a couple of Scion Coupes, and the third brake light is clear, and on the deck lid, doesn't look annoying at all mixing like that, I'm sure it would look fine on the G too!

 

Hey, guys! Here I am bearing pics and links. Here's a pic I found of a similiar spoiler with a clear LED display:



So it really doesn't look THAT bad. But I'd still prefer red. Or, what about this? Too cheesy?

Sent an email asking if this works for a Sedan, and a sedan with a spoiler, at that. If you think it looks promising, I'll be happy to report back and let you know what I find out. They also have it for the back window brake light, too.

 

Thanks, Anthony! I appreciate the clarification. If the Ebay avenue doesn't work out, I'll definitely look him up. I had no idea a spoiler could be this much work!

 

Tell me about it. Three weeks ago I installed an aftermarket oem spoiler (from ebay) on my G. I've got the 5 template strips taped to my trunk, standing over it with a drill. First attempt I get cold feet. Put the spoiler back over the template and ask myself if I really want to do this. Finally go for it. On the 4th hole, I break me drill bit, and the drill skips and I hit the trunk. 1/4 inch deep gouge. Fortunately it gets covered by the spoiler. Get it installed, wired, disconnect the orig 3rd light. Whew!

Next day I see this thread with a spoiler that I like better.
Oh well... Next car!

Did you drill from underneath the trunklid or from the top?

Any worries about rust?

Isnt the trunk lid also aluminum?

 

I'm having the same dilemna, I don't have the spoiler yet, but I can't decide if I want to hook up the spoiler light or not, maybe I'll just tape it on and leave it be.

 

No, only the hood is aluminum Tom (Just to be sure I went out and checked just now )

LOL, did you do the scratch test Wayne?

 

Yup , then I just put a decal over it, j/k. Actually fridge magnets are pretty handy.
