Nice work.
WHy? because of the height?

If so, the front lip doesn't change ground clearance.

can you take more pics of the rear spoiler from other angles? Side, rear etc.... I've been really considering this one or the impul, and i'm not sure which i want. But since yours is an LP sedan, it should help me make up my mind.... thanks

It was raining here all day yesterday, so as soon as it clears I'll snap a few more.

I've also been on the spoiler fence, waiting for something to come along that I actually like. This may be the one.
Looking forward to more pics.

Everytime I come here, you people spend more of my money! :-$

I'd like to install this but I don't want to drill the hole on each end. I'd rather only have to drill holes behind where the chrome strip was.
If there is double-stick tape on the ends of the spoiler, I'd assume the end holes wouldn't be absolutely necessary.

Thoughts?

Yes it does have d.sided tape on most of the edges, but not right out to the tips.

I'd didn't do a dry fit to see how close the shape conformed to the trunk

On mine, after snugging up the center nuts,
there were small gaps at the ends until the snap clips were forced down.
You may need the end holes to pull the ends down.

To me it's no biggie drilling a couple of holes.
I consider this a permanent install.

I think you could definitely forgo the two holes on either end and supplement that with double sided tape. What goes there isn't a bolt/nut anyways but a plastic pop-in retainer. The inner holes all have bolts/nuts. There is double sided tap all along the front edge.

That looks awesome...this is going to be my next purchase for the car.

Question - does anyone think water would be able to get into the newly-drilled holes, especially the two on the far edges?
