Very Cheap Alternative to the Factory Spoiler!!!!

Does anyone know if I will need to replace the shocks in my hatch to accommodate for the newly added weight?

Not sure, but I know what might help along these lines. There is a weight that is mounted under the rear hatch that probably weighs about a pound that you could remove to partly make up for the weight of the wing.

I notice he has a 2011 - I have an early model 2011 (does have the SLU). I went to remove the weight in the rear hatch, only to find there was no weight.

Its $80 to ship to Canada.... :'(

Can it be installed without drilling it and using extra 3M double sided tape?

I meant to use only the tape and not drilling it.

My lip spoiler on my Gencoupe is only held by doubled sided 3M tape and it's been on for 3 years.

Received mine yesterday and put it on today, 4 hands do make it easier. The color is great, the fit is pretty good, but I do see some minor imperfections, not on the top bt at the lower part. Nothing noticeable, unless you know where to look, but at 129.- shipped and painted, it's an awesome deal.

I did drill holes and put silicon sealer around the top and below the screw head, just to make sure it stays dry, also helped to keep the screws in place when putting the spoiler onto the trunk. Looks great.
