Hi guys,

I fancy a change of spoiler on my car, but there's not really many options that will cover over the holes left behind by the OEM spoiler if I remove it.

So I want to swap this (has spoiler with brake light):

For this (no spoiler):

Colour must be Astral black with no dents, scratches...etc

Gord They look nice .......... but from seeing it fitted on Wozza's car, the ends of the lip make a mark in the side of your wing, the bit that overhangs Confusedad:

Yeah that was my only worry. I guess you could have the bodyshop rub it down a bit more to try and avoid that.

The one above seems to have a really tight fit, whereas the 'genuine' TRD Japan ones have quite a large gap. I'm not sure whats worse though - a large goofy gap, or a bit of rubbing.

EDIT: another idea would maybe to install some soft clear rubber 'stoppers' on the edge of the wing?
