Would I be better off just buying a painted new spoilerless trunklid, or getting the spoiler removed and the holes welded or what not? I got this idea from the Subaru guys who swap out their trunklids to get rid of the spoiler.

 

Try and find a windveil blue in your area (V6 or GT) that wants to swap decklids. That should be the cheapest way.

Otherwise, I would guess a decklid from the dealer costs quite a bit of money, plus you have to prep and paint it. There is additional work in swapping in the lock mechanism/medallion. I think having the holes welded up and the decklid painted is the least expensive way to go.

 

Here is link to a site that sells the trunk lids for our car for like $287

Pretty sure you'd still have to get it painted. It would cost less than $287.00 to have the holes filled. That is why I didn't look for a different trunk lid and will have the holes filled before installing the ducktail.

 

Definitely get the holes welded. Much cheaper than buying a new decklid and hanging it.
