that looks almost identical to my stock 04 sle spoiler...

if your lookin for something cheap, color matching, and cool looking then check this:

another alternative is to remove the stock spoiler, bondo the holes, paint it, and get one of those legit wings.

I like the Elite spoiler.

Is it the same as the Sport spoiler or even bigger? I know it's bigger then mine.

The "Elite" spoiler is modeled after the '07 Sport spoiler (like I have) - the eBay one is standard OEM style. I'd question color match on anything but OEM - good luck! :up:

*NOTE: If you don't already have a spoiler installed, know that you're going to have to drill holes in your trunk and you'll need to make sure you use the double-sided adhesive when installing so it doesn't rattle. ;)

does having the bigger spoiler make any other noticeable difference besides cosmetic?

Something that just kind of dawned on me, has anyone actualy seen any other pictures of the wing from this company? Reason I ask is it seems like it's the ONLY company selling the large 07 Sport Wing, and I just want to make sure that they didn't just get the picture wrong and that they aren't just selling the same wing that everyoneallready has.

EXACTLY!!! :lol: :rofl:

I tell ya, that's the best feature of the Sport Spoiler - you can close your trunk from the side easier too! ;)

My only concern for the Elite brand spoiler is if it comes painted to match, will it actually? And what's it made of? Will the mounting hardware come with it and will it fit right?

Check with Reg for the cost of a REAL one (that you'll still have to get painted BTW) - that's the route I went with mine and got a good deal from him. :up:
