The original owner was probably embarrassed to drive it.

Could not resist.
Even though our new GS has been with us for less than a month, it was getting lonely, so we found a 2000 FRC for company. Maybe there won't be so much whimpering at night:
Check out the miles!

My plan is to quietly remove the spoiler, fix the holes drilled in a PERFECT condition body. Then I will put the spoiler in the barn and PAY someone to take it away. The rule will be it has to be removed after dark and no one can see it being taken.
The receipt for the spoiler was in the car can you believe $800 for it????? I'll probably have to spend nearly that much to fix the deck lid.
Yes, as soon as the weather clears it is coming off. No more public exposure until post removal.

I would either sell it or turn it into a bar shelf.

me either. it is wasn't for the miles, it would have been a show stopper. This car is like driving a brand new C5.
Spoiler= totally butt ugly.
I might leave it out by the highway. Might be entertaining to see what it ends up on. Is SURE WILL NOT be on this car long at all.

Maybe it is tacky to ask but WTF How good of a deal $$$$? Nice car and it has been said but when I looked at the pic for the first time my eyes went waaaay wide and I felt a little something coming up in my throat...... Why would anyone do something like that?

yea it was a good deal. I was hoping is was on with adhesive tape, but no such luck. I'll see the body man first thing and see how painful this is going to be.
It seems that used trunk lids are available, so I could get one fixed up. You know the story after that... only a body man or a SOB would notice, only the SOB would say anything.
