Default 1st gen rear spoiler on a 2nd gen?

Has anyone tried or had any luck fitting a 1st gen rear spoiler on a 2nd gen crx? Any pictures? Issues?

There are a couple at the junk yard from 1st gen Si and a HF. I do like the EDM rear spoiler but am not ready to fork out $200.

Thanks

The picture is of the junk yard spoiler. Probably about $20.

The one I like is the EDM spoiler that I see pop up once and a while for about $200

1st gen oem CRX Si. See #18 and 2nd picture.

There was also #19 and 3rd picture.

I think I will go and pull the Si spoiler tomorrow and see how it will fit on my 89 Si.

Well, it's too long!! I know... I get that all the time. Lol

Here is the test fit.

I'm thinking of cutting about 8 inches out the thet center and somehow molding it back together??? Keep in mind it still has studs on it so it sticks up higher than it should.

Is this a foam spoiler like the other first gen one?

No can do! This spoiler is made of a dense foam with a sheet of metal going through the lowest center point for reinforcement and mounting.

Default Update -1st gen rear spoiler on a 2nd gen?

Almost finished product. Cut about 8 inches out of it and rubber sealed it.

Next... tack weld the two parts back together from the bottom and find a way to clean up and smooth out the seam.

Black silicone and black krinkle paint. Almost done! Total cost $30 plus a couple hours.

A little more clean up on the seam and I should be done. Hope the paint actually sticks
