Default Spoiler removal / swap

Hey guys I'm new here i drive a silver 2001 tib and have a spoiler question. I know how to removal the spoiler my question is what is everyone doing to fill the holes that where there from the stock spoiler? I plan on doing aomething custom for the spoiler, I'm looking into doing an srt-4 spoiler. My uncle has his old one for his srt that's already silver and matches very close. I just don't know how to fill those holes before I venture into the project. Also what are your guys thoughts about it?

Not really a fan of it. Those Supra style spoilers look too ricey in my opinion, but if you like it...then go for it. With the way the tibs lines are, they look better with more low profile ones, like the Type R. The only large wing I would ever put on a Tib is the shark spoiler.



As for filling the holes, theres a proper way and a cheap way.



Cheap way: silver stickers to cover the holes

Proper way: fill in the holes with tack welded sheet metal, grind, smooth, bondo/fiberglass, paint, buff

RICEY





Here are some more mods you can do!



Why you need a spoiler anyway, auto x, track car? Or just hardpark at high school parking lot?

Have you seen a 2001 Tib without the spoiler? There's a reason they made them standard on the car. That rear end is just wrong otherwise.

Lol I owned a RD1 forever, built it from the ground up bud. No spoiler needed just go low.



Also Visionz, you have got to be joking!



Azz looks fine to me, maybe it looks good to the people that like being different.

I, for one, quite like hoop/supra spoilers. There are little rubber grommets that you can get to fill the hole to keep water out, but they're kinda ugly.
