Default Not feeling my spoiler...UPDATE

I'm thinking that it's time for a spoiler change. The Aristo style is singing to me, but thought I'd share and get some CL Nation feedback...this should be fun lol

Lip Style


Aristo Style


3 Piece Style

The Aristo is great if you don't want to fill/paint holes even though I like the small lip the best.

With that said, I do think that nothing is cleaner than wingless.

Im going with the lip spoiler, altho that whale tail has me re-thinking lol
I'll have to get the holes filled, but the trunk is due for a repaint anyway.

Update: I got an estimate on removing the spoiler, repairing the holes and a repaint =$500. It was also suggested that I replace the black chrome emblems badges.
I'm holding off to see if I can find a replacement trunk, minus the spoiler. My biggest concern is that the new paint won't match the existing on the rear fendrers and trunk.
I've looked on here, eBay and Craigslist for a trunk. Any Orlando,Fla locals know of any salvage yards? What about online salvage?
Thought, suggestions?

Hi Jay, won't be easy. I've been looking for a wingless crystal white spoiler for a while myself.
