I would like a GT spoiler on my 91 LX Hatch, BUT that would expose extra mounting holes in the middle, right? Would it be chaper to get a good, complete, GT hatch and spoiler assembly complete than to have a pro patch the holes? I have rear defrost I want to keep.

Idea two is the Cobra spoiler. Do the middle posts use the LX mounting holes?
Thank you for the info!

yes. I had to put a GT hatch on so the wing would work.

Idea 1 would work if everything matches your body color...if it doesn't, you'll have to sand/prep/paint everything anyway. I'd keep what ya got, fill holes and repaint...then you won't have to replace a perfectly good hatch. Thats what I did as you can see I run a Saleen s351 wing and my GT holes needed to be filled too...cost me $250 but I did all paint prep.

Foxbodymike87 posted a pic of exactly what I really want to do. Ditch the LX spoiler for the GT spoiler. But I'd use the Cobra spoiler if the existing holes lined up. DOES ANYONE KNOW from experience if the Cobra's spoiler's holes do?

Yes, that's the wing. I COULD BE WRONG, but I believe the cobra spoiler matches up to the GT spoiler...not the LX spoiler
It's been so long since I messed with spoilers

I did this to a '79 that had no spoiler. I want to do it to my 91 lx, but in red. It's a really nice picture!

Whatever mounting holes this one dont use id fill with some fiberglass or JB and let the wing cover it.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Wow... I never thought about it, but the GT wing looks better on an LX than the GT!

My car already had the GT wing on it when I bought it
LX's with GT wings are the best.
