Stock (oem) spoiler installation

1SerieStud · 04-08-2011, 11:51 AM

All,

My car is being returned back to factory status, and after removing the performance spoiler, I remembered that the oem spoiler does not sit on the edge of the trunk from factory.

Does anyone know if there are measurement instructions to reinstall this? If not, can anyone with the stock spoiler still on please measure how far away from the back edge of the trunk the spoiler is? I would appreciate it if someone measured how far the center and each end corner is from the back edge.

Thanks!

I can help you with this when I get home - It's where the gauges are - Give me an hour or so.

Measuring off the 'edge' of the trunks going to be tricky - I'm planning to use a rubber block against the trunk edge for a 'zero' and a dial gauge to span the distance to the spoiler - Will this work or do you have another way you would like this done ?
