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.

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!

Any worries about rust?

Rust is a concern. I used rust inhibiting primer followed by touchup paint around the holes. I too had initially thought that the trunk was aluminum (what the sales critter had told me). However, once I gave it the magnet test, that laid that hope to rest.

Hey, the Grubbs site now has a disclaimer... states the light may be clear at this time. (or something similar) Someone's reading this thread...
I'm like ABQ, I go back & forth on which spoiler. I think the oem looks fine, but this lip spoiler will set it appart. 3 G's in my work parkinglot w/ the oem spoiler.
My issue is the redundant third brake light. If I do pull the trigger, I'll have to disconnect mine and re-tint the back window. (it's currently cut out for the third brake light) Those that don't look fine, but I can just tell that the spoiler was an afterthought. It's all about the details.

I'm sure you're right about your good eye and opening a custom auto shop, and I also think you're right on the white car pictured. However, I'm not sure the clear light would look so "passable" on my black baby. I saw some pics of Blue_batmobile's overlay work, which was great! I think I'm going to contact him for assistance before giving up on the spoiler.
I noticed no one commented on the brake light covers. LOL!

Here's a DIY posted on 6MT for this spoiler, not that I'd do it myself, but maybe one of you guys could.
