2G 97 RS hatch fit on a 97 GSX?

[brandonjperfect]

Okay here's the deal, on the lip of my hatch there is a rust hole beyond repair, so ive been looking for a new hatch, i found a hatch off a 97 rs in my color, i would either want to put my original spoiler on that, or leave it off, i havent decided. but is it tough to plug that whole thats in the middle from the low rise spoiler?

"tough" is relative to your incline or skill on the ability to do it. only you could measure that. other than that its not that hard to plug a hole.
I plug holes simply by welding a piece of sheet metal in the back and fill it on the outside with body filler then do some body work.

Or you could do the old school muscle car guy way, weld in the sheet metal flush with the body and grind it smooth. or lastly find a rubber plug and be done with it.

Rock the low rise spoiler, till you find the mechanical skill to do it yourself, or the money to get a body shop to do it for you. Low rise spoilers are nice imo

Are there any other holes besides the one in the middle? and if there are, will my highrise fit in those? or will i need to re-drill new holes? http://images.craigslist.org/3Fa3M33H35Ld5K25Hdd2745409f19227b10f0.jpg

Yes, there are! Big one in the middle and 4 small ones, 2 on each side of the end of the spoiler.

okay but will i need to drill new holes for my highrise?

Yes! You have to drill 4 new holes, none of them will line up with the high wing
