Looking to buy a 2nd hand bobtail spoiler.
Are they hard to install yourself? Or is it easier to just take it somewhere and get it done? Are there marks under the boot or anything on where to drill (can't easily check as I have dynamat on the bootlid) Has anyone got a pic of how the spoiler is mounted inside the boot? Cheers, Phil |

Yes, there should be marks on the underside of the bottlid edges - you wouldn't have dynamat there. If there aren't any marks, then a tape measure and some careful measuring will get the holes in the right spot. Also, the factory mounting holes are actually oval shaped a bit, to allow for some fine adjustment when mounting the spoiler.

Thanks JC, just went and had a look. Assume these are the mounting holes, if so looks easy.

Yep - and with the right bootlid spoiler (the T series style one like I had on my XR8), you will only need the back hole on each side. If you get the classic one, I believe it uses both on each side.

Should look good ;)
If you want any pics I'm happy to take some of mine from underneath etc to reassure you you're drilling the holes in the right spot! |
