Mint Blue Spoiler Questions.

Hey guys, how's it going? I just bought myself a mint blue spoiler. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the spoiler bolts on to the holes where the OEM Appearance package bolts on to. I know that the OEM spoiler has 2 holes each side, but does the Mint Blue bolt onto any of those holes?

If the mint blue does not match up to the OEM holes, does it at least cover the holes 100% with no problems.

Thanks

Did the mint blue spoiler cover the oem holes at all?

How did you plug the holes? Did you have to repaint the whole trunk?

with the cost of paint and getting the wholes filled, you might as well purchase a new trunk painted...wait a minute, they don't stock them painted...doh!

Its kind of odd, but my mint blue spoiler covered all the holes... The only thing you can see is missing paint around the holes.

Heh... I wasn't considering the surrounding of the holes as a part of the hole. Its cool though. The mint blue spoiler looks awesome.
