maybe someone from accolade can help i think my spoiler was originally form them ... i bought it second hand... dave, kareem any help would be great!!!

 

I will check into that.. Im not sure the exact point to drill.. I think most people eye it..

 

umm petey oyu gonna be at the meet this weekend?...if so ill show you where to drill the holes...you got the lip kit on yet?f

I had the same problem when I bought an OEM spoiler for my ES. What I did is use the mounting holes on the spoiler base and made a template out of cardboard of the outline of the spoiler and where the mounting holes are. Then you put that template on the rear deck, line everything up, and drill the holes. Mine came out perfect but you do have a little leeway if you need to adjust it a bit.

Its also a good idea to rust-proof the holes you drill too. I used a little paint and some marine spray waterproofer stuff my Dad would spray on his boat motor. I think it was Corrosion-X or something like that.

 

sweet pete...when ya gonna put up pics?go to the meet dammit...lol

 

Lol Ill Try My Best.. Ur Lancer Looks Niiicceee,..saw The Pics, Wet My Pants.

 

If you look underneath the trunk lid you can actually see the 4 spots (2 on each side) where the holes for an OZ wing would go on your trunk. I used these when I installed my Evo 8 wing and it lines up perfectly.

 

what about the center hole?? cuz the trunk has some depth to it and is kinda think in someplaces... pictures might help...someone help me out on this with some pics if they could plz

 

What center hole?

 

 

Depending on where you got the Evo 7 spoiler it might not line up exactly with the OEM holes on your trunk. When I installed mine (2004 OZ) the stock holes weren't spaced far enough apart so I had to drill a hole on each side and use one of the stock holes on each side. I didn't use the third hole and mine fits just fine.

 

oh so u didnt even use the center hole,? does it vibrate or anything at high speeds? maybe it was diff because u have an 04 laner? wow come to think of it u put an evo7 on an 04? hows it look cuz ur lancer is kinda curvy.
