Default Rear window spoiler

Well I wanted a rear window spoiler but nobody seems to made then anymore due to lack of quantity needing to be sold... So I work at a salvage yard and I found a stock one but its off of a 03 mazda protege 5 wagon, so I took it off brought it home and to my amazement it fit pretty well for something made for a completely different car. I did sand it, prime it, and paint it flat black. And trimmed some of the plastic molding that holds the light in and fits perfect.... Idk how to upload pics from my phone so gotta go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/336959...buron-coupe-2d

The fitment looks really good, bro! I just picked one up from the junk yard for $50 dollars! Is there anything I need to do, to make it fit? (besides trimming the plastic moldings)

There are 2 bolts in the middle of the wing that need to be cut off, I just used a hack saw and there are also 2 plastic pegs, 1 on each side that need to be cut off as well.. And for trimming the plastic trim on the bottom just go from the bottom of the light and across ( pretty much the whole bottom half of the trim)... Ull end up cutting off 4 out of eight mounting holes (2 on each side) so there will be 4 mounting holes left (2 each side and in the middle). I also used 3m VHB clear double sided tape to hold it on... I hope that helps u out and If u have any other questions just let me know
