Making a Custom Do-Luck Influence Spoiler for my 8

Just ordered a $100.00 used EVO trunk, it should arrive by Monday.

Im gonna do some welding first to build up the spoiler with sheet-metal, then plastic for the curves, also im looking for some white led lights that will be built in for a third brake light.

The whole process will be documented with pics.

Should I close up the spoiler holes, or leave them open?

snap, if you do a sexy job you should mold that and make a CF version or does Do-Luck make an 8/ 9 trunk? I love the DIY approach, good luck!

Like I said DoLuck will only be used as an influence.
My idea is it exhaturate the DoLuck style
