I know someone who can get me a great deal on an OEM certified (aftermarket) spoiler that is pre-painted! All I need to do is make an order...THANX!
BE CAREFUL!! I bought an OZ spoiler pre-painted, made by Razzi, and the holes on the bottom of the spoiler DID NOT match up with the pre-made "spots" that you see underneath the truck. The spoiler I got did come with some simple plastic peices that you places in the holes underneath the spoiler, then once the spoiler is in place, tape the plastic pleices down, and remove spoiler. Then you have your drilling spot.

Mine also came with a fully working LED brake light, easy to install.

Thanks for the heads-up! The one I'm looking to buy is OEM certified, so the holes in the spoiler should match the stock location. If not, I could always just use a template. Could you post pics of where your bolts ended up coming through the underside of the trunk lid?

Mine ended being bolted in the general space of the pre-made spot, but if I were to have drilled the hole dead center in that spot, It would have not worked. Take a look



That's the center bolt. Looks off center from the inside, but believe me, the spoiler is dead center on the outside. I had my friends OZ parked next to my car to reference the exact position of the spoiler.



That's what it looks like when you assume it's going to line up with the pre-made spots and drill in the center of those spots before making sure they line up! (Don't worry, I filled those holes back in and put a thick enamal to prevent rust.)

And now the pain in the *** part.

The bolts that are near the rear of the trunk have two layers of metal to go through, although their are those pre-made spots, mine didn't quite line up, and was impossible to get a screwdriver in there to tighen the screws. So I had to bend the metal back until I could access it. That sucked. So a Dremel tool would come in handy if you have one.



I still need to smooth out that hole. I was lazy and just stuck that rubber stopper back in. It's in the trunk, no one is going to see it!

So good luck!
