Buying an UGO + molding it to the car + paint the roof... will probably run you the same amount....or even more!!!

I don't think that would be a problem. If I recall correctly, the UGO mounts on the roof not the window.

The spoiler may mount on the roof but part of the side still run along the window and overlap it. You dont have to mold the side but it still will be tuff to replace.

Sean,

Let me know when you are ready and GL find the right spoiler.
