I'm leaning towards replacing the stocker with one of these.....One site i seen mentioned new holes had to be drilled to install it????

We welded up my fender badge holes and if these holes need to be welded up, it would be nice to do it now....

Thanks....

Mine is a Saleen one and it fits in the factory mounting holes. No fab is required just tape up the holes on the bottom of the spoiler or it will hold water and drip a stream on your bumper for days.

Some are just Saleen styles and not originals. It doesn't hurt to pay a little extra for something you and everyone else will admire when they look at your ride.

I agree on the "cheaper" deal...This was just closer and i noticed it in 5.0 mag during my morning dump... actually he's asking the same price as Saleen....I was just hoping for a "real" part closer to home than Cali...Oh Well..

Anyone know someone on the East coast who's got one????

I'm not sure who else sells them other than Saleen.

S281 spoiler install requires no drilling at all, just uses two of the stock holes and you get some two-sided body tape to put between the decklid and a little seam on the rear edge of the spoiler where it meets.

Pretty easy install, but Saleen quality sucks and your part could very well be warped like mine and require a little bit of muscling to get it to fit correctly.

Both of them should have it I think

I ordered mine from Saleen, wouldn't recommend them, very poor customer service.

There are 2 holes on each side of your trunk for your spoiler studs. You will be using all 4.

Yea, his is the S351 wing, the pics I posted of my car are the S281 spoiler. S351 will use all four holes, whereas the S281 will use only two holes and some two-sided tape.

Believe me, I installed it myself

Affirmitive the one in the last pic was
I just took that pic to show you the studs since I have the S281 on and the S351 sitting in the garage. My S281 has 4 studs also, TRUST ME I 've installed it as well and no 2 sided tape is used on mine or it would look like a$$ when I switched them around.

JR... do you just wake up and decide what parts you want to put on your car for the day?

I just went outside to get this pic for you so you wouldn't think I was you. Mine is an original Saleen product. You can see the studs in the factory mounting holes.

Sometimes, they are just so easy to change over and it confuses people after awhile.
