SLE to GXP Spoiler Swap

Post by yonkerss »

Is the SLE to GXP a direct bolt swap?

What tape should I use to tape on the end pieces of the gxp spoiler to the body?

Thanks!

Pretty sure the bolt holes are the same, though I haven't seen directly but I've never heard of anyone having to fill in or drill new holes.

As for the end pieces 3M makes a double sided tape for body panels. Should be able to find it at Autozone/Advance etc.




I've got to get on swapping my GXP wing on too...needs paint first though.

Are the wings allowing water to pass through, track off to the sides, or just pool. W-bodies had a modification using water hose rubber washers to allow rain/water to pass directly under the wing, or else water pooled on the trunk lid causing nasty gunk if left to sit for a few days.

It may get trapped under there or at least stay damp.. I used the 3m trim tape on the center section as well to seal it from water getting under it rather than just bolting it on and having a chance of it working it's way under
