From what I've read in the archives, everyone takes the rack off. I want to put one on.
I thought I saw some time back a diagram with the proper locations for the holes, does anyone have it or the measurements?
I have a decklid with spoiler holes but no spoiler, it got ripped off.

I have a hood with the rack removed. If someone else does not respond I can take some measurements tomorrow and post them.

Can't you get measurements from your dad's car? I seem to recall his having the rack.

Did you want rack or spoiler holes.
Not sure on the hood I have since someone also drilled spoiler holes in it.
There are two hole on the outside edge of the hood that I thought where for a rack since the hood has ribs.
They are located 2" in from the side on center.
And 4 3/4" from the lower back edge of the hood bending the tape over the angle.
You would have to judge if that matches your rack.

I'm not sure if I will see his car again before I attempt the install, otherwise I would just copy it.

I'll check out if that lines up, I can base the rest off that if it does. Thanks.

I would check with these guys, If I remember correctly I got mine from 86BlackSE. Just make sure it gets boxed, mine got a bit mangled in the mail:

would i be able to keep the spoiler and luggage rack bolted on at the same time?
or would i need to cut something?

My dad's Indy has both a spoiler and luggage rack, but you lose the benefit of the metal luggage rack spoiler. The stock spoiler isn't all that sturdy for wrapping bungies and such around. Also if you have both, you won't have enough end caps.

Just an option.....What about a removable rack that hooks to the side of the trunk lid?
