Rear spoiler

The stock rear spoiler is fat and gets in the way of seeing important things I like to see: Cops, cars and most things behind me. I thought of putting on an aftermarket spoiler, but I'm not going to fill and drill holes on my $24k car. Is there any product out there that will bolt right into the present spoiler holes?
Other than that - Any suggestions?

Re: Rear spoiler

There is the Wings West Bullet wing and the Shine Street wing. They both fit in the stock holes.

Re: Rear spoiler

You could get an aftermarket spoiler and drill the holes in it.

Re: Rear spoiler

He said he didnt want to do that.

If you hate the stock spolier, why do you wanna get something even bigger, that will block your visoon even more?

You could get the aero duo wing. that is a pretty smooth look.

The STOCK one is thick and obstructs my rear view right in the middle of the window. I see aftermarket ones thin, either higher or lower.

How is drilling holes in a new spolier going to make it fit in the stock holes? That makes no sense.

The Shine Street wing is terrible for veiw out the back. I had it for a few months. I took it off for that reason, among others. The WW Bullet wing is the same as stock pretty much, but it has large bullet looking things on each side.



The V-Line wing also sits in the stock holes.



This is the Shine Street Wing. It looks cool, but sucks for vision.

Re: Rear spoiler

I was thinking more about drilling holes in the new mounting brackets and spoiler itself. May be more work than just fillings holes with bondo though.

The unfortunate thing is that these aftermarket spoilers cost well over $300 AND they still need painting. The cost would run over $400 just to give MINOR improvements. AND the perfectly good, old spoiler is a total loss.
Thanks for all the input, but my decision remains to keep the stock spoiler and just bob my head to see out the back for on coming cops. (funny: the spoiler blocks the exact position of the police cars lights in the rear view mirror)

Re: Rear spoiler

Just take the whole thing off. I have no spoiler. Car looks much better IMO anyway.

Next question would be: Can plugs be bought to fill the holes and where do I get them? I saw one without and it didn't look bad. I could always throw it back on.
Thanks

Re: Rear spoiler

Yes. They are this rubbery material that you shape to fit the holes.
