took my spoiler off today and plugged the holes. after almost four years of it being on, the spoiler really fucked up the paint underneath.

Pics/more details? Kinda curious how that works out, is it different than the rest of the rear of the vehicle? I know the rear of most cars gets tons of road dirt and grime buildup (best use of a clay bar is to clean all that off then usually needs a good polishing), but I wouldn't think under the spoiler would do any extra damage to the paint under it. Or are you talking about where the spoiler comes into physical contact w/ the paint?

where it has physical contact with the paint. all the dirt scratched the paint and in a few spots took it down to the metal.

wowsers! that sucks bro. I took off my front bowtie the other day it looks like **** underneath so i cut out some black vinyl and laid it over the nasty doo stains it left, until i figure out what i want to do with the front. On another note i think my suspensions getting put on in a week or two.

yeah, can't say im too pleased about it, but for now it'll do. maybe at some point i'll lay some vinyl down to cover, or not. right now im just trying to figure out where i dropped a washer in between the two metal pieces of the trunk.

haha no i've been looking for a yellow wingless trunk for forever, but havent been able to find one for a reasonable price. $400 for another trunk is not an option for me.

I'm sure you could find someone to trade straight up for a same body color trunk lid if you want plain and they want a spoiler, hell you could probably even get some money out of it

You want HP Tuners not Trifecta. Although I'm not sure if HP Tuners ever unlocked the 08 2.4L's.

My friend only tunes LNF's but I know a guy who's great with LSJ's. He has his PM box on here turned off so I'll get a hold of him and see what he'd charge ya/when he's available.

Holy **** that's rich! Have you tried finding a shop that could do it? Whoever did Glen in Massachusetts did a great job.
