As you can see on the pix, I need a spoiler. Water will come in and it does not look good with those hardware exposed. Cheers

Could you just fill in the holes with something that would be easy to remove later and then cover the top of the holes with touch up paint to seal them off?

I would have to ask a body shop that I use to answer your question. I have to take it them to have the spoiler installed. I am sure labor will not be cheap since they have to drill new holes and cover the existing ones so it might be just be cost effective to find a used OEM spoiler if available.

I wouldn't want to put any extra holes than needed. Finding an OEM one is probably best imo.

Thanks for posting the pics. Very helpful. I just bought a 2008 today (but will not take delivery until Monday afternoon) and think I'll leave the spoiler alone.

My main interest in removing it was because I'll be cartopping a kayak and working around the spoiler to avoid damaging it while loading/unloading will likely be a pain. Plus, as said above, i like the look with or without.

I haven't had any problems with the spoiler on my gx and loading and unloading a 14ft kayak, should be fine.

I load two canoes on mine with the spoiler with no issues. Canoes are 17' and 18.5'.

My 2 cents: I have the spoiler and have thought of removing to save whatever the weight is (yes I know it's not much, but I'm very focused on preserving the best MPG possible - again don't laugh lol), but also because it interfere's with rear rack mounted lighting...

old thread, but I am also thinking of removing my rear spoiler. I think it help with MPG when pulling my trailer, right now a bunch of air hit the front of the trailer.

Has anyone done this'd left it off? what did you use to fill the holes and did you add a new third brake light?
