I love my stock spoiler...or maybe it's just too much hassle to remove it, fill in the holes and repaint the trunk lid, and install a JP one.

In regards to the one off of eBay, there's better quality spoilers out there.

I assume "inexpensive" refers to only the new lip/spoiler as there will be some cost to filling and repainting the holes that become exposed from the OEM spoiler removal.

Yeah I meant as in Parts. I was actually planning on looking for someone to swap trunks with but I have to make sure there is a lip spoiler with third brake light first. I haven't had any luck and this was the only one I found.....after looking at it on ebay all day though it looks like dookie!!! I dunno maybe I'll just get used to my wing.

Good luck finding someone to swap trunk lids with. I've been searching for awhile now and it looks like I'm just going to have to fill in the holes and get the trunk lid repainted.
