Hey guys im pretty new here,
My 09 SS has a high rise spoiler. I stopped at a body shop in my area for a quote to have my spoiler removed.

The owner said that if I let him have my huge wing that he would weld, fill and paint my trunk for no money, plus give me a loaner for the day that he's working on it.

I guess one of his RX8 buddies wants a spoiler just like the Balts.

Do you think this is a good deal?

 

go to a different body shop and see what they quote you for the same work that he would do...for free.

so, whatever they quote you~about what he's buying your wing for

 

Seems like a good deal fill in holes and paint it for the spoiler no money require sounds like a steal. But then again what if he does a shitty job?

 

Why the hell is it that everywhere I go they all say that it will rust through. Or the welding will cause the metal to buckle or some **** like that? I want my friggin wing off!

 

because they dont know that they are doing....

 

you could trade trunks with someone who has no spoiler that wants a spoiler + sum cash

 

is it just me or dose "Shaving my Balt" sound kinda dirty?

 

yeah u can get a wing for 150 or a new trunk lid with no holes (hard to find a trade) or pay like 200 for the holes to be filled but if u dont want it go ahead and trade

 

that is a really good deal, thse wings are like a $240 option, plus all the bodywork and paint. i say go for it now! i wish i could find the same deal.

 

Dropped the car off tonight, dude said it would be done tomorrow. Will post pics later this week after I debadge.

Oh the loaner 2001 Dodge stratus R/T manual with huge exhaust leak.

Make him shave your trunk keyhole also!!

 

you could also make him shave your....nevermind

 

Left the turbocharged badge
my goal was not to draw attention to myself by either cops or wannabe import drivers that want to race me at every light.

 

Well it has been said but they don't know how to weld good obviously, most pros TIG weld it very slowly as to not warp the trunk then bondo, paint, finish.....shop around a bit and ask them how they would do it, the way I explained is the most professional way to do it.

 

looks good man, i will be doing that to my car pretty soon

 

Kind of like what happened to me,the body shop welded the holes and painted the trunk for free+he gave me $100 for the wing

 

holes were welded nicely. couple of imperfections, but im very happy. Didnt have to reach into my wallet to shell out a few hundred, then have to find a buyer for the spoiler.

 

DUDE, why didn't you get that goddamn trunk lock keyhole shaved??
