So if you take off the stock spoiler, are you gonna have the holes in the decklid?

Even if the paint is bad, why not just have the spoiler re-painted. It would probably be more cost effective than buying a lip spoiler, having it painted, having the holes filled, and installed.

2nd gen TL? If i'm not mistaken there is about an inch difference between the two because the CL is wider than the TL

I think he's just saying that because he owns it.
Dont hate my gs lip is short too, it gets under my skin sometimes but whatever. Ever since ive installed that spoiler i have taken a close look at other cars on the road, and there are actually some stock lip spoilers out there that are short.
