I had the same issue. I had the surboard style spoiler on my 2006 and I wanted the nascar one. As long as the one you get is either a 2006 or 2007 the bolt holes should line up perfectly. The only issue I had with mine was the surfboard one is a little wider than the nascar one so I had to use some touch up paint to cover some of the rash left over from the surfboard spoiler on my trunk. I would definitley do it again though. Good luck.

they will line up just fine since they are both 7th gens, you have have scratched paint under yours tho that the new one wont cover up, just an fyi

Here's EXACTLY what it will look like. I did the swap last year.





Mine was then wet-sanded and painted to get it fixed.

I did not do it myself. You could probably look at a good $300 or so for the work, but as always your location and local places will vary :P

Great picture ChibiBlackSheep, mine was about the same. The color of my car is sliver so it hid the damage a little better than your. I took some touch up paint to mine a couple of times and it is not perfect but it still looks better than the surfboard.

The spoiler swap was worth every penny. I feel the rear of the car just completely changed and now looks fantastic
