Yes, with a little modification. You need to either trim the tips so they clear the top of the taillights or cut them off completely.

I actually have the later model SS spoiler on my Cutlass.

Angelo Valenti, who owns one of the FE3X cars is the one that had the rear spoiler made that mimics the original concept car spoiler.

The earlier models stand up more where as the later model is closer to being flat. I don't know what years they switched between the two.

I believe this is the more vertical spoiler:

This is the later model spoiler. It's more flat:

How much you need to trim depends on the car and if the spoiler hits your taillights. If you don't want the wing tips to extend over the taillights you can cut them off without too much work since they are hollow underneath.

As for the trunk holes, the studs on the spoiler are around 8mm in diameter so you'll need a drill bit a little larger than that. I made the holes fairly large so that it would give some wiggle room adjusting the spoiler side to side.

FE3X, I see I am not the only one that likes that look. Do you have any actual pictures of the rear of your car that you can post? Do your tips extend over the tail lights? Cutlass' should have came with this type of spoiler from the factory as an option. Something is needed on the back to give it a little more "bam".

This was the spoiler on mine before bodywork and paint:



This is after we cut the ends off and put a few coats of primer on it:



Should have a few pics in a few weeks of everything painted and installed for final comparison.
