Im still trying to figure out the trunk spoiler, dont know what to use to mount it on the trunk lid...i kinda want to bolts it on, but dont want screws showing..i found alot of these on ebay..it says trunk brackets?? U think this is what i need to use? Let me know...confused

take a picture of the bottom of it for me...

if there are no provisions for bolts under it... take a piece of wood or steel, can be thin wood...

cut it in a small square, counter sink a bolt into it so that the head of the bolt is flush with the surface of the wood... do this for however many mounting points you want... lets say three...

glue each of these to the bottom of the piece where you wanna drill a hole onto the trunk lid to put a nut/washer and tighten it on... after making sure they are in the correct position, fiberglass them onto the bottom of the spoiler... to lock them in place, this will make it bolt on

tired so picture may suck but hope you get what im saying... after you make sure that the pieces fit under the spoiler and still fit flush on the trunk lid, then you could actually drill and set them in place, put glue/or double sided tape on the top of em, carefully set the spoiler in place on top of the mounts (while sitting on the trunk, in the drilled holes) and let it set pull the spoiler off and layer a little glass over it to strengthen it all up and make it look good... make sure the resin is mixed properly and that you roll all the air out... wont take much to do it right and will be strong as hell, dont want the resin to crack, most people use to much resin and do not mix it properly...

text me for the rest, cause your gonna have to "set" the bolt in where it wont spin as you tighten the spoiler down, can do this one of many ways, but it should be fine! and I cant advise further until you take a couple of pics of the top and bottom of your spoiler

When you installed the heat/ac delete plate are you required to remove the heater core? I just purchased one, but i have nice chrome hoses leading into the heater core and was wondering if it was possible to keep the core and still install the delete plate. It just gives my engine bay an extra bump. Looks nice, cant wait to see it finished !
