i want one of the stand up spoilers, but i saw a thread where someones surfboard spoiler left scratched and wore down the paint. is this common? is it fixable or does the whole trunk lid have to be repainted?

i have a stock surboard spoiler and want to switch to a OEM stand up spoiler (00-05)

 

Its possable it can wear the paint down but unless u get a 06-07 ss spoiler ull prob have extra holes to weld up, best thing is prob to find a trunk in a junk yard with a stand up on it

 

I searched and searched, the 06-07 stand up are hard to come by, a junkyard trunk lid swap would probably be easier and cheaper. I cant find atrunk my color either.

 

The 00-05 stand up has different mounting points. So you will most likely have scratching AND you will have holes in your trunk that will need to be professionally filled.

The swap to the 06/07 is easier, but it doesn't cover the whole area and it will need the trunklid repainted. The pictures you most likely saw were mine.

I agree with the others that swapping the whole trunk-lid would be your easiest bet if you didn't want to bother with repaints and everything.

 

id probably end up repainting anyway. apparently i have a 'rare color'

i gotta go by the body shop monday to get a quote on getting some dings fixed. ill run it by em

 

You only need the top of the trunk-lid repainted. Since they can blend at the bend, makes life easier.

 

Wat color is ur car?

& yeah painting up to where the spoiler sets does make it easier

 

Cappuccino Frost. people tell me its rare

 

I like that color it reminds me of shiney primer. Ive seen a few around here but I see it on a lot of impalas and one truck.

 

Yeah it does have a shiney primer look lol but yeah that is a rare color & u wont find a stand up spoiler trunk in that color cuz to my knoledge they only had the surfboard style
