This is the only GP I've ever seen with a modified stock spoiler:




As for no spoiler, I always hated it because I only saw it on 4 door SEs and didn't like the looks of those cars. My car actually sat without one for a bit and it actually grew on me. The Limited Edition spoiler is my favorite and I don't plan on running without a spoiler, but here is a couple pics while it was in storage after I sold my SLP Gen 1.

Don't worry, like it says that is from over a year ago when I was storing it in a warehouse after I sold the SLP and was installing my new wheels. I'll be getting another LE spoiler when I get the chance.

yeah that doesnt look too horrible but it, i think it looks different a lil more on the not good side.

Well smoothing the spoiler into the trunk is going to be a little too much, cause after looking at gaps and stuff, it's gonna be too much to just bondo the gaps and everything.

Sooo back to square one with the ideas. It doesnt look too bad without the spoiler, does anybody know how to do the raised stock spoiler like that yellow GP in the pics above?

The raised stock spoiler was just pedestals made/modified to fit as far as I know. The only pre-fit pedestals that would just bolt on are by AEDCentral and I'm sure you could buy a new spoiler for a little more than them.

I doubt I will ever actually go no spoiler myself. If I ever have the money I might have different "modes" for the GP. Swap wheels, trunks, etc. for different events or moods. Probably not.

As for other ideas there are SLP knock-off spoilers that are out now, could always add rams to the bottom so it sits flush and raises at speed ala Bugatti Veyron , etc.

Definately wouldn't mold the stocker or any spoiler to the trunk.

Hey did that Special Edition Spoiler fit to your factory spoilet screwholes or did you hafta drill/plug the pre-existing ones on your trunk lid? That thing looks friggin' nice, it's exactly the kinda thing I've been lookin' for (again, because there's not a lot out there for a factory fit to our cars)
