spoiler help

Hi guys, i am a new member from central jersey.
Just got my 04 DG coupe last weekend, everything looks fine except the aftermarket spoiler the previous owner installed that i am feeling kinda iffy about. I am going to order an OEM to replace it. Any reputable shops around the central jersey area for this replacement job? Approx how much labor should i be expecting?

Something to keep in mind. The aftermarket spoiler more than likely has different mounting points than the OEM spoiler. So if you go to install, they will have to fix the old holes and repaint.

I know because i had an aftermarket spoiler that i tried to install the OEM on after.. it didn't line up and they had to redo the whole trunk.

btw, i "may" be selling my OEM 2007 (different than the first car which was a 2005) trunk & spoiler painted liquid platinum. I just purchased a CF trunk and am considering installing it.

Thanks for the heads-up. I am going to cross my fingers the holes are going to be matched. Well, if the holes don't match, considering the size of the OEM and the way it sits across the whole trunk, would it just cover the existing holes? maybe my thought is oversimplified, but is it really necessary to redo the whole trunk if the OEM covers the holes?

If the OEM covers the wholes then your good but if the OEM spoiler needs to be pushed forward, the old holes will be exposed.

Think i got the original from spoiler depot.com..

Getting back to the original question, anyone knows a reputable place to get it installed in the central jersey area?
