I'm no help at all...I think you should go tail-less.

i think you will able to align the spoiler and the hatch nicely on both side. just an opinion from a 3 piece spoiler guy.

i say go find a 97-99 eclipse gst or gsx and take a picture of the rear and try to match it from there. or have something and measure someone eclipse with the turbo wing

The back of the wing should be flush with the back of the hatch. Im almost sure that the edge of the wing support should be 3 1/4 from the edge. Thats where I drilled mine. Make sure when you drill the holes you use a small bit first and slowly increse in width.

the thing is i actually do that when it comes to matching something. if i dont know if its right i go and find a car and try to remember how it looked.

When I bolted mine up, I made sure the front edges followed the curve from the side of the car. Set it on the hatch and stand back. Its a very clear line, just adjust it so that the line is smooth from the body to the start of the wing.

When I did mine I noticed underneath the hatch there were marks where the hatch would have been drilled had the factory installed the Turbo spoiler. Check it out.

That's correct. It looks like you have it positioned correctly in the first pic. I remember a thread either here or on DSMtalk about opinions on moving it back where the supports were flush with the edge of the hatch.
