jackhartjr Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi folks, anyone out here decided to put the little trunk lip and flared out tail light on their vert...and how did you like it? Much trouble to do? Thanks in advance! Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 You should probably have this thread moved to appearances or general. I never visit this forum, but I can tell you that all sorts of coupe owners have done this - YES! Mainly coupe owners because of the percentage of coupes vs. convertibles that didn't come with them to start with. BXX is one guy that I know has done it for sure. But there are at least a few others. I have a lip set here at my place, but no Cutlass Supreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 It looks great and it isn't all that hard to do. The hardest part would be drilling the holes for the lip spoiler in the trunk and that's not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassman Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I added the spoiler and flared tail lights to my '92 Convertible about seven years ago. The spoiler was new and came with all the mounting hardware. I carefully placed the spoiler on the trunk lid and marked the spots where the spoiler bolts touched. I double-checked to make sure everything was symmetrical, then drilled the holes in the trunk lid. This seemed like a leap of faith drilling into a good trunk lid, but it worked out fine. Start with a small pilot hole, then drill a larger hold to accommodate the bolts. The tail lights are a breeze to swap out. Looking at the car, no one would ever know it wasn't installed at the factory. Just take your time. I like the spoiler and flared tail lights look much better, but this wasn't an option on the '92 verts. I later added the five-spoke wheels, which also weren't offered in '92.
