Well kind of. I got a replica mines spoiler and decided to mold it to my trunk. Here's some pic of the process:

Here , I had to cut away from the spoiler tio make it fit. Since it was a replica, it did not fit evenly.

The molding process. I decided to use double sided tape and JB Weld to hold it in place. I was going to place rivets but decided against drilling into the trunk.

Do you do body work or is it a hobby ? Looks damn professional to me.

Well, I started working on it this Monday after i got off work. I've been working on it everyday since then putting in about 2 hours per day or until the sun goes down. So on average, I would say so far it has been a little less than 10 hours. Today, I just finished the last of the filling of the holes and applied the final coat of primer. Next is to wetsand the coat of primer and it will be ready for painting. I still need to get the paint from my local finishmasters. Till then.....
