    Your welcome .... I was just looking at the link last night so I had it bookmarked. I'm wondering if they still make the version for 74-77 cars with the longer 1/4 extensions so you can add the spoiler and leave the big bumpers on. I'm always up this early for work.

    So you have to drill holes in the trunk lid to install it?

    Yes ... four approximately 1-inch diameter holes need to be drilled on the edge of your decklid. I'm curious if non-Grabber hoods have the access holes necessary on the backside of the hood to screw on the nuts or if they have to be drilled out as well. Have to check when I get home ...

    I believe all trunk lids are the same, grabber or non grabber. My car is not a grabber, and I installed the spoiler no problem, access holes were right where they need to be. When you do this type of thing, just make very careful measurements. Measure twice, cut once they say. I've learned this the hard way a couple of times :).

    The trunk lids are all the same, just need to drill the holes...

    Just stay away from that Canadian Company that sells fiberglass Mav parts. They ripped me off by just not sending what I ordered...the check cleared, though. They said "we are out of stock of that item, so the next time you order from us (FAT FARKING CHANCE) we will credit what you spent last time toward that order." My thoughts are "yeah, I am out $XX, so I will just send them another $XXX and HOPE that other part is in stock". Stick with companies that other Mavers have had success with.

    Scooper - out of curiosity, do you remember the name of the company?
