Flushmount spoiler option?

I saw a new Pontiac Bonneville yesterday, and I never bothered to look at the spoiler until now. It's a flushmount spoiler, and I wonder if this may be the solution for all of you who want Wings West flushmount spoilers. I don't know, but maybe this can fit a TL with little or no customization. But take a look and let me know what you guys think. I also can't find a picture of the mounting points on underneath (if there are any) or if it is held on by just adhesive tape.

I'm still waiting to receive it, it's in transit. Yeah it was $20.50 sale price + $20 shipping = $40.50, so not a bad deal at all! I saw the Bonneville yesterday, and I was like "I'm gonna get my flushmount spoiler soon!" Then I got to thinking that maybe the Bonneville spoiler would fit a TL pretty nicely. The curve of the spoiler looked like it might work so I posted the suggestion. Any ideas?

I think the Bonneville rear is wider than the TLs by just a little. My mom drives and gran prix and it is slightly wider than my TL. Since they are "cousin" cars I don't know if this spoiler would work or not?

Yeah, I kinda had that feeling. I just looked it up, the overall Bonneville width is 74.2 inches, and the overall TL width is around 71 inches. But these are the overall widths, not the actual rear width, so I still don't know for sure. Can you bodywork guys tell me if it's easy to shorten a spoiler?

If you see another Bonneville in a lot, measure the width of the trunklid. The M3/M5 flushmount spoilers for our TL are 46-47". So the bottom of the Bonneville spoiler should be around that length where it mounts to the trunklid.
