Well kind of. I got a replica mines spoiler and decided to mold it to my trunk. Here's some pic of the process:

Here , I had to cut away from the spoiler tio make it fit. Since it was a replica, it did not fit evenly.

The molding process. I decided to use double sided tape and JB Weld to hold it in place. I was going to place rivets but decided against drilling into the trunk.

Bondo TIME!!!

more sanding!

After all the sanding, primer application:

More to come. I still need to fill in some tiny holes and more sanding needs to be done. I will be wet sanding the primer tomorrow.

you da man

Do you do body work or is it a hobby ? Looks damn professional to me.

Austin

Its both. I was bored and i do it as a hobby. I started off painting i-clubber's sideskirts.

Seems like you are pretty good, any interest in doing ends on a Kaminari wing ?

Austin

how so? what do you mean?

dam.. that is one of the cleanest trunks i have seen... i cant wait to see when its done... what kinda hours you put into that??

Well, I started working on it this Monday after i got off work. I've been working on it everyday since then putting in about 2 hours per day or until the sun goes down. So on average, I would say so far it has been a little less than 10 hours. Today, I just finished the last of the filling of the holes and applied the final coat of primer. Next is to wetsand the coat of primer and it will be ready for painting. I still need to get the paint from my local finishmasters. Till then.....

your my hero!!

Painted...

Wet sanded, buffed, and slapped on...

Sorry for the crappy final pics. I just took them in my garage and its 12am now. I'll take pics in the morning tomorrow for better lighting.

wow, good job man! just wondering if you had any news for me on my rear lip

Yea sorry henry. I'm still working on it. Its harder than i thought. You'll get it soon. Hopefully by next month.

Finally done....

your my idol.. thats such a clean spoiler!!

Any issues with the bondo cracking from opening/closing the trunk?

Very good job man. I'm impressed for sure. How much weight did that add to your trunk.

No cracking yet...hopefully it never will. I never slam my trunk hard. The weight of the trunk has increased slightly, yet noticeably. I dont know by how much.

what kinda rims you have??

nicely done!

Those are rota revs. They would have been the D2's, but sadly they did not fit. :(

Teh sexy!!!

yeah, that looks really slick. nice job

if uhave a body shop do it, it'd prob cost an arm and a leg

Thanks for all the comments. I enjoy the look of the trunk each time i look at it now.

I really like it.

How come you didn't mold the bottom of it? I guess perhaps no one would've known that there was a wing there.

Thats exactly why i didnt mold the bottom. I like the "edge" that the spoiler gives on the back of the trunk rather than the top.

That's hot. I always wondered what a Mines spoiler would look like molded into place. I still want to see what it would look like if bottom portion was molded into place too to give it the one piece look.

damn ed, thats sexy

Thanks everybody!
