Trunk Lid Q

[BlackViper]

Hi all, I need a little advice.

My 96 stock Talon spoiler started to oxidize so I took it off and instead of just re-painting it I wanted to get a 97 Talon spoiler and put that on.

So I've got all the holes from the stock spoiler and I made about 6 more for the new 97 OEM spoiler.

It doesn't work all that well for me because it leaks and I was thinking about taking it to a body shop to patch up.

I took it to a repair shop and they said it'd be $800 to fill the holes and re-paint everything.

So anyway my problem is what should I do now?

My choices are:

1. I can pay $800 for them to fill the holes and paint the lid and my 97 spoiler.

2. I can get a 97 trunk lid and paint it if its not the same color,(Black and White stock paint), and I would also need to re-paint my 97 spoiler. I could probably get a trunk lid for 2-3 hundred, maybe a little more.

3. Get a lid with no holes for a spoiler and just install it on, leave off the 97 spoiler, and get painted if needed.


I'm kind of leaning towards 2 because then I'd keep my spoiler, that I love, and I wouldn't need to worry about a body shop or leaks.

Thanks for your time.

so you just drilled like 6 holes and now you dont want them :/ i say the best bet would be to find a new hatch and go wingless

Well I liked the 97 spoiler so much that I drilled some holes nad stuck it on my 96 Talon.

Just went down to a place and got a 98 Burg. Black Talon trunk lid.

Going to put that on with my 97 spoiler and get it all painted.

I have never seen so many Talons\Eclipses in one place before.

Too bad they were all ####ed up.
