Exclamation 07 Type S Rear Wing option?

Hi guys. I'm looking at possibly getting out of my '05 A-Spec and into an '07 Type S. The dealer's offering a $625/mo lease payment for 26 months ($30 less than what I have now). I had to beat them up to get there, but then I thought of the rear wing option. The dealer doesn't think it's doable. I was wondering if anyone had it done or if there's an aftermarket piece that goes over the stock lip. I'll need to respond tomorrow!

Pretty sure the Type-S only comes with the lip spoiler (which leaves something like 7 holes in the trunk when it's removed), so putting the wing spoiler on the Type-S isn't an option unless you get a whole new trunk as well.

Wow! 7 Holes! I wonder if it's possible to just tack on the wing OVER the lip. From pictures it looks like the lip is about .5" to 1" above the trunk's top.

The mounts for the wing spoiler are designed to sit flush with the surface of the trunk and the new Type-S lip spoiler is much different than the lip spoiler from 04-06. Unlike the previous version, the new one sits up higher off the surface of the trunk. As a result, the "tack on" idea would result in a very strange angle to the wing spoiler...not to mention the amount of "equipment clutter" that would be on the car's trunk. It would just look really bad.

Damn. That blows. I don't really care for that short stack behind. I'll have to search around for an aftermarket piece that's taller (but not TOO tall).

$625/month sounds high.

We had $485/mo (includes tax) with nothing out-of-pocket except First Payment. That was 36 Months and might account for some difference, but $140/month - - sounds high.

$485/mo would be nice. The dealer's calling me later this morning. I'll pass that number by him and see what his response is. Thanks for all the info!
