2012GTCS

Im wondering If anyone has experience and can give me a round about idea of what I'm looking at price wise for this work. Dont wanna get my hopes up and go into a shop and get slapped in the face with a huge estimate lol....

I have a GTCS and the pedestal spoiler has 8 holes. If I switch to a GT500, 4 of these holes will be exposed. So...

-I'd need the 4 holes filled and I'd assume the entire (all 2 feet of it) trunk would need repainting.

-Plus let's say the spoiler needs to be painted. (already painted another color)

-2 Roush louvers painted

This would all be done in black. Any ideas??? Thanks!

are the holes literally exposed (not covered by the spoiler)? or are they just not used?

it's a bit of work to fill in holes b/c now you have to weld on top of all the other prep work. you may want to consider getting a used trunk lid from fleabay or someplace. then you just have to worry about the spoiler and louvers being painted, which would be cheaper.


I also think you would be able to switch trunk lids with someone locally who has the GT spoiler and wants the GT/CS

Supposedly the holes will be exposed. I haven't found a trunk or anyone wanting to trade. I wish I did. I don't mind the work just have a feeling it's gonna be like 1000+ and I'm not paying that lol

You are probably not too far off on that guess-timate. Body shops use a crash guide that lists labor-hours for refinishing every part on just about every vehicle. The tech then "flags" that number of hours for doing the work. A spoiler may book at 3 hours whether it takes the tech 30 minutes or 6 hours to do it. Properly repairing the holes will likely be considered custom work, not covered by the guide. You'd definately save some cash and hassle if you got a spare decklid with the matching holes, particularly in the same color.

I see your doing your homework on checking for this information. I can't see it being such a huge cost.. On my 2006 I had the total front fascia painted (plus fender blend), Ratchet Shifter Installed, Sequential lights installed, all lights painted tint, plus was fully detailed for delivery all this from whom I told you about and he did it for $1200.00

O what's up man, I didn't know you were on here too lol.

Yeah I think I posted here first and then remembered to ask locally for recommendations. I just didn't wanna be blind sided with a reality check on the price so figured I'd ask for some guesstimates or maybe someone who does it

Thanks for the advice. Gonna swing by there tomorrow of the weather holds up
