Default New OEM spoiler

okay, i was looking around for some spoilers, and i noticed a new one on a GS driving around, it is not mounted teh way the current ones are, it is mounted with out a gap between the mounting area, and spoiler it self,

see this has a gap


and the new one does not, you know where i could find one like that

no not that one, sorry, iguess i wasnt clear about it, i was talking about where the spoiler actually mounts to the trunk where the two bolts get screwed in. right where those bolts get screwed in thre is about a 1/2 gap that hanges over the edge of the trunk so it will be over the rear quarter pannel, the one is saw had no gap and was directly on the trunk,

by the way, is your car lowered, it looks nice, i think its the black one right, iwas looking thorough you pictures, what have to done to it, it looks nice,

There are different varieties of OEM spoilers, take a look at these two threads for lots of spoiler pics that will better explain it.

excelent job with the car,
nice mods,
clean, yet noticable,
thanks for all the info on the spoilers, i guess OEM is the way to go as far as spoilers, but stil could not find out where to get the ones that dont mount over the trunk only,

where would you advise me to get a spoiler other than the dealer, a good quality one,
i dont think www.spoilerdepot.com would be a good one because its replica stuff, so let me know thanks.

Depending where you are in CA, I'd say you have a pretty good shot at trading your deck lid with another member who has an OEM spoiler and wants to remove it (or to put on another type of spoiler like the sportdesign or RMM).

You might want to post a WTT (want to trade) in the marketplace classifieds and let folks know what color your GS is and where you live.

Just post the WTT and see what people have, most will have OEM. Let them know you'd like to look at their spoiler / deck in person (and vice versa) first - you'd prefer not to have one with an 'angle'.

Suggest you post a pic of yours if you can.
