Question Help!Installer drilled a hole in my spoiler! should i replace ?

Ok here's the situation, the installer drilled a hole right through my new spoiler... however, he put the 350 Logo on top of it and its barely noticable... he agreed to buy me a new spoiler and install it for free but i told him i'll think about it since i kind of like the way the 350 looks on it right now... please people advise on how u think this looks and whether i should get a replacement or not ...

P.S. (the hole is under the right side of the 0)

I dunno man, I'm not really feelin it. It looks kinda funny without the Z. I think you should either get the spoiler replaced or remove the 350 logo and have the hole filled. You could also take the entire logo off and plug that hole with just a Z logo, I think that would look pretty good.

tell him to "owe" you a paintjob and install on a front lip or something ... get it in writing though

ps- i think the 350 looks strange back there

i think he tried with the Z but it wasn't covering the hole enough so thats why he used the "0" instead...

Get the new spoiler. '350' doesn't look right without the Z.

You could try to get one of the Z logos that come on the side of the car and try covering it up with that. It might look pretty good.

The "350" looks really odd there. It's too far to the right.

Cut him a deal. Ask him to fill the hole and paint it. Then ask for a big discount the next time you need anything painted.

Add the Z --- also the 0 looks a little off....

If you don't replace the spoiler, then have the fill in the hole and repaint.

It doesnt look good. Just have them fill the hole and repaint it. Besides when you wash your car or it rains water might seep (sp?) into the hole.

is it just me or is the paintjob on the spoiler..... crummy.

orange peel like woah.

oh and i'd reapply the emblem again with a nice set of 3m double sided emblem tape. that's a lame job to put on emblems.

sorry, i am usually not negative but i just noticed those 2 things.
