i dont think there's any holes drilled for the factory spoiler on the trunk. if you want aftermarket trunk, only available one is seibon.

There are holes drilled in the trunk if your car comes with the spoiler from factory.

I've already removed the spoiler so I know there is 4 holes already. Just hoping someone on here is willing to trade so I don't have to weld them shut.

Kinda off topic,

Wouldn't an after market spoiler require screws as well? Couldn't you utilized the already pre-drilled holes, that is it it matches?

Or, are you just gonna plan on using just tape?

I would just keep it. I hated it at first but got used to it. now i wouldn't want it any other way. The car looks upscale/premium with it and the other ISs without it look so plain like they're bare with no options.

Aftermarket will just look juvenile/r1cey in my opinnion.

That's very simplifying it lol. A lot of bolts + a lot of wiring + small bulb lights + rear tail lights + backup camera and whatever else I might've missed. Not hard, but certainly not a 20 minute job.
