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.

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
