Trailer hitch on 08 SEL 4
slaterracing replied to Isresistancefutile?'s topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
and if you do tow anything with it and it is an automatic make sure you get a trans cooler for it. the stock auto in the 4 cyl is not going to be strong enough to tow much and will heat up very fast. -
Well i finished my gauges over the weekend. Here is how everything turned out.

When you get it done post up some pix a alwasy love looking at others cars :shift:

Make sure you have a friend there to help hold things and it will take 2 of you to snake the light wires under the factory liner. but other than that it is a very easy install and very good mod.

Ya that is who i got mine for. Great seller i got my spoiler in 3 days. I think that is one of the fastest shippings i have ever gotten off of e-bay. My dealer wanted $500 painted and installed for the factory spoiler and IMO it does not look as nice as this one.

I put RTV gasket maker all around the bare metal to seal it up. Also put i on all the screw threads. Should take care of it. In one of the pics of the screws you can see it alittle.

Here is a write up i did for another forum Got the spoiler off e-bay painted and shipped for $119.00 with wire connectors and wire cover i have less that $130 into the spoiler. Sorry the car is a little dirty :lol: 1. Tape are with painters tape 2. Attach Templates to spoiler and position on trunk eyeball then measure to make sure it is centered side to side and front to back. Tape down templates with painters tape and remove spoiler. 3. Drill thru the holes in the templates with a small bit. Remove templates then using a large enough bit to allow screws or bolts to go thru holes. For the brake light harness I only drilled thru the first panel so I could run the harness under the panel under the trunk lid by drilling another hole in the side of the open cavern. 4. Run wire thru hole and set spoiler in place and bolt it down. I used gasket maker to seal up the holes. I also put some on the threads of the screws. 5. Since spoiler is now done it is time to move onto wiring the brake light. Cover the wire with plastic wire covers from the parts store so that it looks just like the factory harness that is coming from the trunk light. Run it along the harness and tape it in place. 6. For a cleaner look I ran the wire thru the opening near were the rear speakers were installed that way they are tucked out of the way so nothing will hit them. 7. After pulling the wire out at the trunk light opening you can now attach it to the break light harness. You will have to take the electrical tape and plastic cover off the brake light wires. After that you can tap into the wires. Solid wire to solid and striped wire to striped. 8. I then taped up everything so you cannot see the splice connectors. Now close the trunk hit the brakes and if the light comes on you are done.
