I doubt if it will fit. I'd bet almost anything that the Bimmer has different curves than a Celica coupe.

Are you shooting for aerodynamic qualities or visual spoilerlaliciousness?

spoilerlaliciousness to be honest... but hey I might get some aerodynamic qualities out of it too but I am not too focused on that aspect of it

It looks as if it is a bit too short on the sides....was really hoping it would somehow just line up....

Just cut and add in an inch fiberglass/bondo, hell, make a small wing in the middle. Most people here should be able to do that. If you like the look, just mod it to fit.

Cement bags were the only thing i had, the bags are just their to weigh it down. its placed on the slope of the rear window just like any other roof spoiler so if their was no weight or adhesive it would just slide down the window and wouldn't stay in place. I was thinking about using Polyurethane glass sealer, its the same spoiler

Funny how the spoiler sells for 1.99, yet they mention that MSRP is 199. Right.

yeah for sure, if it looks crappy at the end and doesn't go well, then at least i gave it a shot, plus it was only like $16 shipped to my door the next day so its all good

looks cool
idk if you know this but tinting goes on the inside of the window so it wouldnt effect the spoiler.
and hey if it doesnt stay I'm sure you can mod that hatchback civics rear spoiler to fit laugh.gif lol jk cwm13.gif

yeah i know it goes inside but I lay it on the outside first to measure it and cut the edges then put it inside, as far as the civics rear spoiler don't think i haven't thought about it hahaha
