Well, there are two layers of lid with a gap farther back, but that's not to say one couldn't drill thru both and maybe have a spacer if needed to firm it up. Is the objective just the change in look?



I was wanting to mount the spoiler I got on a wing delete decklid and I figured if it could be moved back a bit I could drill the holes wherever but I think I`m going to mould a scoop on to a decklid anyway
so I will probably keep the wing delete decklid intact and get another.

TXGOOD, I think there were two different spoiler stands. One had the studs at the extreme ends and one had the rear stud mounted slightly forward. If so, that would give you a little more rearward position. There's plenty of room for positioning of the forward stud, as you can see.

I just posted the pics for someone else, coincidentally, but before I started my rebody, I had moved the GT spoiler back about two inches on an 85 GT decklid. My spoiler has the studs on the ends (about 1/2' to 3/4" in from the edge of the stands).





Unfortunately I don't think I have a pic of it mounted.

I looked at my decklid and it looks like the rear bolt goes right through that little button like your picture.
If I decide to use my decklid it shoud be fairly easy to tell where to drill the holes.

I suspected that a non-spoiler lid would have a button like the other two and that would be a good locator. Something I do when a spoiler is removed and replaced is to use a small bit of windshield setting tape, flattened to make something like a washer to go around the hole on top of the decklid between the lid and gasket. It makes a good water seal. Then once the studs are passed through the decklid, a small amount of anti-seize on the stud to prevent the nut from rusting to the stud, in the event any water does leak through.

I made a plate to move my wing back.. I mounted the wing stands with the front stud in the rear hole and the hole in the plate in the original front hole in the deck. Made f/g cover for all that and painted to match. This moved my wing back about 4 1/2 inches and the car looks longer.

Pics? I’ve been looking for something like this since the stealth wing stands are no longer.
