That's right. You can move it all the way back to the edge of the trunk lid. I some how have a problem with putting holes in my car you know.

sorry I was out for a while and am back in the office, I will get better shots and some of the plates that I made. it's not that hard, but lots of work. The reason I didn't use plastic is because it is rigid and will crack at least that's what I was told. I will have some more picks tomarrow.

Umm...plastic is more rigid than what, paper? I think what was meant was that it will get brittle over time and crack. It all depends on what type of plastic it's made out of. Nylon sucks but ABS or PBT can handle it just fine. Especially since ABS is the plastic that most exterior auto component accessories are made out of including on trucks.

The plates look good though but I would paint them to match the car. Just my opinion though. Good idea none-the-less.

RE: spoiler relocation plates I made

I honestly don't rember what it is, I went to a plastic shop and they recomended this. I had to buy a 3' by 4' sheet of it. it is easy to work with and will take paint as well. My car is white and black so I likt the way the black breakes it up. I will have some more picks of a plate for you tomarrow. the kicker is that the left side of the spoiler and the right side are not exactly the same. the holes are off.
