I am not a big fan of the spoiler delete; and if you are going to take it off you should have it repaired correctly at a body shop. JMO.

Well I dont plan on leaving it like this. Since this trunk lid has the sirius sat radio thing on it I figure ill end up getting a shelby spoiler and eventually get another trunk lid and swap them out as I wish.

spoiler delete with a slammed suspention is the best look for our cars.

yes it is!!


use some small carriage bolts, they work the best. Grab a can of white rattle can paint at home depot, spray the bolts, and enjoy! looks great. mine matches the ford oem white, perfectly.

how did they fill your badges for painting? or is there still a gap in between, it is hard to tell.

A carriage bolt eh? YOU sir, just made me decide to proceed with removing that spoiler off the trunk.
Did you just drop the bolts through and put a nut underneath the lid? - I wonder if the touch up paint you can get at autozone etc.. would work?

eventually in the summer i will get the holes filled for good. yea the only carriage bolts i could find that had a nice smooth top with no stamped letters on it, were 4 inch ones(way too long). So i sprayed them white with simple rattle can paint. I put some clear silicone under the head then dropped them down. Then put 3 washers on each, one larger washer to clear the underside of the bolt head then 2 smaller ones, then the nut. Then i put more silicone around the washers, and cut the bolts.

I had 4 rubber plugs on it, but the carriage bolts look much better.
