Please break it down and give the links to the threads, Cause search does not pull it up.

Thank you,

First you click search...than you click advanced....than you can use the search thread "freedom design" and "spoiler" and click search and POOF there it is.

And search does work. If you can't figure it out, than i don't know what to tell you.

Johnny, play nice! Someone comes in & needs help we try to help then nicely, not vortexy.
Joe, do what he says, click search, then click on advanced search. It's a whole lot better way to search.
And welcome to the org. John's just having a bad day. He's usually a really nice guy

Umm. I'm not having any bad day. My post was self explanatory and i did as the guy asked and included a link to the proper search thread. You want Vortexy, check out who called someone a jerk.

There's lots of cars on the org that have that spoiler. Problem is, the one in the picture you posted is not from Freedom Design. If you click on the link in my signature for my NB Elwood, you'll see the Freedom Design spoiler. Rather than mounting through the 3rd brake light mount, the FD spoiler you drill holes on each side of the trunk. It also sticks out more from the body(overall surface).

how he said it was perfectly fine and nicer than i've seen other people show how to use the search feature..its pretty self explanatory and if you can't figure it out then maybe the internet isn't for you

Sorry Al, your're wrong there bro. That is one of 2 Freedom Design wings. They did indeed make a no-drill spoiler. As i stated, i have the FD rear wing and it's identical to the photo.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Lets see if I can help get this thread back on track...

I too would like more details specific to this type spoiler, particularly the installation. I like the idea of no drilling required for later removal if needed. It would also be nice to know if anyone has experienced problems after installation with the spoiler moving or becoming loose. I have read that can be the case with some of the "no drill" models.

Any info specific to the installation and experience after would be greatly appreciated.
