I took the spoiler off because it was the only thing I didn't like on the car. To each his own on the spoiler issue I guess.

The stock grill was taken out with the removal of the 8 push-locks on the top of the grill piece, and the 2 plastic screws located to the left and right of the grill just below the opening on the back side of the bumper. I dremeled out the center pieces. Then I filled in the blemishes with bodywork spot putty, sanded it smooth, primed it, painted 2-3 coats (Ultrasilver Duplicolor Spray Can), and cleared 5+ coats (Clearcoat Duplicolor Spray Can). It matches the car almost perfectly, and it's smooth. Then I cut the mesh grills, painted them black, and that was all she wrote. Sounds simple, but it was very tedious work.

The holes were welded in, smoothed, primed, and painted by a guy here in South Carolina that does excellent bodywork. I paid $320 for him to do it in only three days. Then I sold the spoiler on EBAY for $225 shipped!

Looks better but i think a spoiler (not wing)is needed. I agree the shopping cart handle we have is a bit much

Wow man. Thanks for posting those pictures. I absolutely hate the wing on these cars, and now that I am have seen it off, there is no doubt it wont be there for much longer. It just looks soo good.

My main complaint with that stupid wing is that my rear view mirror is basically useless. Also when I close the truck it just flops around.

You made my friggen day.. lol. Time to call around to shops
