I have a 97 gt vert. and last night when i was waxing my car i wanted to see that it looked like w/o the spoiler i liked it better, and since its the stock spoiler i know its jsut for looks. are there any kits out there to jsut cover up the holes incase i ever want to spend the money on a functional spoiler??

 

You can buy some vinyl plugs at lowes for like 5 bucks and you'll be set...

 

but i want to be able to put a new one on if i get the money not just have it without one... and as for the plugs, will it sill look good, or will you def be able to tell???

 

Only if you look at it.

 

ok soo was i right about the spoiler doing nothing but looks or does it have some effect. and you can buy plugs at lowes?? right or do i need to look at other places?? because i honestly think my car looks nice w/o the spoiler but still would keep it if i help enough IMO

 

at 150 miles an hour it will do something, otherwise its just for looks

 

The plugs will be visible, but only if somebody is standing next to your decklid, paying attention. I've seen a couple of black cars using the plugs, and suprisingly it doesn'y look bad. Most hardware stores whould have them.

 

ok, then i took it off and i have a line where the spoiler was what is the best way to get rid of that?? with out having to spend big bucks??

 

describe the line. is it like dirtiness or oxidation or what? your best bet is probably to polish your trunk with the least abrasive polish you have. If that doesn't work, keep stepping up the abrasiveness one level at a time until you get the desired results. If you have a porter cable this is a pretty quick fix.

 

This problem just sucks. When I removed mine the spoiler had actually rubbed down throught the paint and into the primer. Then my Roush 4 post didn't cover the marks, so I had to have my entire deck lid painted. Turned out to be an expensive spoiler swap. Hopefully yours is not this bad.

 

mine is kinda like that. its a pretty deep rub but only at the back.. it looks like the spoiler was a little loose and just rubed and rubed .. give me a little while and i can get pics of it.. but that sucks bad.. i would hate to have to do that.

 

Yeah I tried rubbing compounds and such, but it was just way too deep. I really didn't wanna paint mine either.

 

would it look alright since its not that wide if i went the cheap mans way out and got the scratch remover stuff and tried that?? or would that not work properly??

 

the scratch remover won't work if you can see primer.

 

I'm guessing, espescially on black, it won't turn out very well. i couldn't even get my Torch Red to pass the cheap way and I had a spoiler over the top.

 

i think that i can get it looking pretty good. my last job was at a body shop, soo i know a few ways that i'm thinking about trying, like going with 600 wet sand and be very carefull and just sand the do over to smothe it out... or try something like that.. i know a few ways to make it look decent

 

Well good luck. Let us know how it turns out.
