Question GT500 Spoiler Swap

I need a little bit of help... I found the spoiler that meets my needs... kinda mixes the ducktail look with the factory spoiler... the GT500 spoiler is perfect... I love how it looks and it would go great with the new black FR500 18's I just got... I found one prepainted at www.spoilersource.com but I need to know if it would be a direct replacement? Am I going to be able to take my factory spoiler off and put the GT500 spoiler on in its place without any modification? Thanks in advance!

yes you can take the factory spoiler off. Alls you have to do is unscrew the bolts on the deck lid and cut away the 3m tape with fishing line of something of the sort

I just ordered mine from the spoiler store on ebay... Have heard nothing but good things about the spoiler store and its a steal at $115 for shipping and paint.
