You mean something like this?




If we use the same spoiler as the TL people do...then it can be done.

we've only got 2 screw holes in the middle, not 4, so i dunno if it's the same

the size of the housing may b the same tho, so it could work...here's the best i could come up with with our wings...

Hey! What are you trying to say :sqnteek: ...j/k ...yea I've seen quite a few people do that...not on TLs and CLs as often though...I think it's quite dumb...might as well just debadge it.

No, there’s nothing racial about my comment.
I read that in a thread here a few weeks ago.

No idea which one though.

Yeah, adjust the rubber bumpers on the inside of the trunk lid. No more spoiler rattle.

Hmmm..

Well i had my spoiler apart today and like NSX said, you can either adjust those rubber tabs or take out the LED light and shoot some of that liquid expanding foam into the spoiler... I am sure it will not make the spoiler heavier than a pound or so... 9 out of 10 times the rattle is the wires jumping inside of the spoiler when you turn your bass up..

I got my spoiler painted and shipped for 199.00 ... Chikia just ordered his today... I opted to install the clear lens with the red LED... now if you got a spoilerdepot.com spoiler. than the LED is 16.5 inches long...and this is where you find it .... http://spoiler2000.com/Merchant2/mer...tegory_Code=98
