Just get the ones from Autozone or O'Reilly so you wouldn't have to deal with the shipping. They cost about the same, and there should be a store local to you. Good luck.

Yeah, don't forget to mention with or without spoiler, but it's always best to get the one for with spoiler. And IMO, all the aftermarket doesn't really last as long as the OEM, and it opens up the trunk very rough compared to OEM, so don't expect it to open up really smooth and elegant like the OEM. I bought mine from O'Reilly when I first got my SC, around April 2011, and whenever I'd forget to guide it to full open position with my hands it'll slam so hard it rebounds, and lately I've noticed that its a little bit weak now.

I bought the ones off Amazon over a year ago for my 97. They were like $20 with free shipping and had them 2 days later. Still working flawless, got the ones made for spoiler.
