You would have to use a different bolt. The one you get stock is too small to use.

I take it this is for the '03 and back cars? mine on my '05 is already raised.

**GTPJOE90** · 06-22-2008

yeah i got a 99 GTP Randy so would it be a big deal and hard to get the same screws but just longer at like home depot or something?

**GTPJOE90** · 06-26-2008

just finished mine looks good enough gap between the spoiler and lid so water is easy to flow threw now! =] thanks and this is def sticky worthy looks nicer also i lifted it up a bit more then a washer =] i used 2 washers and a flat metal locktight.

glad it worked for you!!! hope it helps many others...

**GTPJOE90** · 06-26-2008

yeah its worked well only thing is i was just wondering with my steel washers and stuff will it rust out and screw my paint up or anything???

**drunknmunky** · 06-27-2008

out i wouldnt ahve used metal... um... some metals will rust... but id be more concerned with vibrations scratching the paint then rust from where paint may be scratched away? but dont know? if you siliconed around the washes and all then water shouldnt get in there tho?

**GTPJOE90** · 06-29-2008

yea thats what im thinking im sure she'll be fine =] my sub amd amp below doesnt help with the vibration

THANKS AGAIN DEF STICKY WORTHY!

**drunknmunky** · 07-02-2008

**99prixgt** · 07-20-2008

did my spolier raise with 1/16'' rubber spacers, great idea! worked great

**drunknmunky** · 07-21-2008

glad to hear it... was there bad damage under there? got any before and after pics?

**99prixgt** · 07-22-2008

Na didnt take any pics, my bad.. but there was some surface rust and some serious dirt plus those outlines, which i couldnt get off... it didnt help the old lady that used to have my car never washed it..

**drunknmunky** · 07-22-2008

yea that was what i was faced with, lack of washing causing trapped dirt and rust

**GTPJOE90** · 07-23-2008

mine had no rust i was shocked but i did have the outline of the spoiler haha =]

Painted... cant tell but the paint area is darker then the rest of the car but its mainly under the tail and unnoticeable...

And lifted... the rubber washers I used were red and are not visible at all, great Idea Drunk.
