Where are you guys getting 300 dollar quotes?

I've been wanting to remove my spoiler.

The sucky thing is 2002 is the last year they included the spoiler. After 02' SD have the BMW looking small spoiler

I've gotten $350 at about 4 different shops. That's the going price of something like that in Texas I suppose, lol.

Here's another issue that you needa think about if you get a new trunk.

Vin #'s wont match

Do we really think about that when we buy used parts? If that was the case how could you ever replace any body part or glass that has your vin # on it? .

Some people mind, just throwing it out there.

My friend, for example ,wont buy a car unless all VIN numbers match on all body parts

Thanks for all the help guys! I guess I'm just gonna have to pay to get them shut. I live in Miami and I know of a good body shop who works on exotic cars that told me $250-$300 so I just said $300.

And yeah I wouldn't want to buy a new spoiler less trunk cos then I'll lose my black chrome emblems I don't want that mission of taking them off.

I member bought some plugs at Lowes or Home Depot to cover the holes temporarily. IT didn't look to bad...

Yeah I might just buy the plugs for now until I have the money to spend on closing them but I just want colored plugs not black.

lmao yeah when i removed the oem wing i used some good ol' duct tape LOL.

i had to wait cause my body shop guy was busy, when he had time he welded the holes and compounded it sanded it preped it and sprayed it lol, i have the JP Rep 3 piece wing and i figured the wing itself would cover the holes but it didnt. lol i tried to cheap it out but yeah ended up doing it the right way!

BayAreaLex

I've been through this and here are the options:

1.) Plugs - tacky and you can typically see the imprint of the spoiler on the wing. This would never be an option for me.

2.) Weld/epoxy the holes, sand, repaint.

3.) Find a decklid without wing from another car that matches your paint.

You can do it cheap and tacky or you can do it right and dish out some coin. Up to you.

Yeah like I said Im just gonna run plugs until I have the extra money to do it legit. Or unless I find a cheap spoiler less trunk then im good also .


BTW thanks for everyones input!
