Default Anybody with an OEM rear lip spoiler?

Hi all,

I have an OEM wing spoiler and I'm thinking of going with the OEM lip one, but I need someone to do an eyeball measurement for me please.

The two holes at the back of the trunk are the same for both spoilers. The wing requires holes be drilled just under the rubber bumper things on the bottom of the trunk lid. I'm thinking about taking off the wing and installing the lip. But first, I want to make sure the holes at the front won't show if I have the lip spoiler. I'd just have them filled with some sort of rust-proofing filler and then cover it up. But, if the holes show, I'm not willing to fill and paint and blend and all that crap.

So, is there anyone who has a minute to eyeball measure it for me to see if their lip might cover up that area?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jay. I don't think it's going to work. I think the hole would be about 5mm in front of the lip.

Jay, if you ran an imaginary pencil straight up thru the center of the rubber stopper, do you think it would be covered by the spoiler or in front of it?

Thanks.

IMO, the OEM lip spoiler is the best looking wing or spoiler available for the S2000!

Crap, that's what I thought - thanks again Jay - owe you a beer.

I'm stuck with the wing then. I like it okay, but the lip spoilers have been growing on me.
