Mugen spoiler question

For those of you with the Mugen spoiler.

Does the spoiler fit into the exsiting holes drilled for the oem spoiler?

Will the OEM spoiler cover up all the holes left over from the mugen spoiler?

Right now i have a spoilerless TL and i was debating between the M5 Lip spoiler or the Mugen spoiler... M5 would be simple clean and cheap but Mugen would be baller and expensive!!

The mugen Wont cover oem holes if your thinking of replacing the oem spoiler, and the mugen doesnt use any holes to mount. Its a very strong 2 sided tape to hold it on

I don't have the OEM but the thing is when i sell the car i would have to replace the mugen spoiler with the OEM spoiler and was just wondering if the holes would be covered, i guess double sided would be a good option

Why would you have to replace it when you sold it?

Just incase i sell it to the dealership or an older person and they might not have the same appreciation for the mugen spoiler that i have... do you think double sided tape would really work though?

i would say go to Junk yards or even Ebay, if worst comes to worst you can go to a body shop and fill in the holes left by the oem spoiler.

I dont think the dealer will have a issue with the mugen. Its alot more subtle than the oem (and probably the only thing that looks better than the oem)
Yes the tape will work cause thats how its designed to be put on.

How easy is it to get the spoiler on right "the first time"?

I installed a Mugen spoiler on my Integra years ago...the install was also double stick tape... If you didn't get it done exactly right the first time, it was near impossible to get the thing off and straighten it up without damaging the spoiler...

I was just curious, for security purposes, is there anyway bolts can be made to secure the Mugen spoiler? Is it too thin to actually put screws through?

Nope, It was never designed for bolts and they wouldnt be able to hold as good as the tape. You guys have to remember, this tape is what holds on all sorts of moldings on just about every car out there. Its not weak, and the more time it spends untampered on the car the stronger it gets. Unless a thief that knows that that spoiler is taped on comes along they arent going to try to rip it off

You'd be surprised in my neighborhood. People egged my car, tried to steal but instead broke my CF spoiler, keyed my car, stole my Honda Inspire conversion and I also caught someone trying to break into my car (I caught that guy and lets say I have served my community service and will try to restrain myself next time).

That's why I asked if it can be held on some other way. Thanks for the input though, I might just go ahead and get it anyway, add some more tape and be good.
