That's how mine was and just didn't look right to me and didn't want to mess anything up. But that was a few years ago. And now that I've been on here and heard of poeple doing it, I guess I would have been alright, just haven't gotten around to taking it out or anything. Trying to fix my random stalling problem. Do you know where I can get a factory trunk spoiler really cheap. I want to get that crap off my car. Don't do the car show thing much any more.
