One more thing, I didn’t drill a hole half way like you had done. There were holes existing in the hood. What I did was cut strips of heavy paper and put holes in the strips and then using tiny pieces of painters tape to lightly tack it to the spoiler. After positioning the spoiler to align the holes and then taped that to the deck to give me the drill position. I did drill the holes closest to the rear deck first and set it with the bolts and then did the above step for the holes closest to the back window. No need for the little rubber bumpers i clear the tail lights and rear fender. Thanks for your video it helped a lot. I hope this helps others.
This car has such a versatile design. It goes against a basic rule of engineering and design; less is more. But this cars looks get better with each well thought out addition. By well thought out, I refer to your excellent "eye" in choosing that wing. The end s of the wing match not only the body gap between the bonnet and the fender, it also lines up with the tail lights and the design of the rear of the Spyder as a whole. Excellent work. Car looks better than before by several factors. I feel that, if the addition does not work with the overall design/esthetic of the vehicle, it is as jarring to your vision as a loud sound is to your hearing. If you have "the eye" ', such as this gentleman, you would never install such a "ricer" addition anyway . The preverbal tow hook on a civic that never even drove past a track, let alone be towed off of one by the "crucial tow hook" addition, is an example of a "ricer addition". The "eye'" always catches incongruencies in the flow. I say again Sir, nicely done! ;)
I watched your video, thanks for posting. I've been lining mine up and with the same issue, I was thinking maybe it might be better to by a metal hole saw so you can drill out the hole on the underside of the deck favoring the hole saw to the insides of the deck lid. Then the holes would be big enough to place the bolts where they need to go. What I'm worried about is the two problem holes and having the screw go through the side of the spoiler. It looks like you sneaked it in going sideways?
Thanks! I bought it on eBay.ca from a US seller. www.ebay.ca/itm/131841726077?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0dx_Ulh3QlK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ahg_4LbmT6O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Yes, it came pre-painted with my provided factory colour code. Here’s the link: www.ebay.ca/itm/131841726077?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0dx_Ulh3QlK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Ahg_4LbmT6O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It’s a good entry level sport/convertible and affordable car with Toyota reliability. I don’t know where you’re located but you could find good used MR2 in the US. For some unknown reasons, this model was not for sale in Canada when it came out. So there’s not many of used ones available here in Canada. I got mine from North Carolina, USA and I love it! I hope you will be able to find a good used one. I am sure that you’ll love it.
@@greenfrosty1200 I am not sure about the repair cost in your area and how handy you’re. I am a DIY’er. So I maintain and repair this MR2 myself. So far, only routine maintenance has been needed for this car since the day I got it. It is a 1.8L Corolla engine which is very reliable and sufficient. If you’re looking to get one, I suggest you look for 2003 - 2005 models - ideally 2005 which was the last year Toyota produced this MR2 for NA.

Good tips!
The little rubber bumpers are to cushion the tips of spoiler from touching the lid. I am just wondering if you have that issue on yours.
I’m clearing the tail lights by 1/4 inch and no issues at the fender. I hope between your video and some of my tips it helps others!
@@GaryCosta
Do your spoiler tips touch the engine lid? Mine do that’s why I use those little rubber bumpers.
@@PTranProductions
My tips clear and don’t touch.

That’s nice!

No need to drill bigger holes. Those factory holes are big enough to feed the 10mm screw/bolts thru with a deep socket (magnetic socket).
Nice spoilers man where did you get them from?

Very nice! Did you buy it already painted? Do you have a link to the ebay store?
Yes, it came pre-painted with my provided factory colour code.
