If you have the usual stock spoiler with the third gens and you want to buy a high rise, you are going to have a problem. The problem is not the actual spoiler fitting on top of the back deck lid, the problem is the quarter pannels......

When you take off the stock third gen spoiler (the one with 3 peices) two of the pieces extend on to the quarter pannels. When you take those off, you are left with a hole in the quarter pannel that needs to be filled. After its filled, usually the whole quarterpannel needs to be painted.

Also, there is usually an eyesore of an outline from the pieces that extend down into the quarter pannel. The quarter pannel is usually faded and scratched, so you are going to have to do some extra painting anyway.

I agree that the spoilers look bad ***, and I am going to get one soon myself, but keep that in mind before you go putting any money down.
