Yep,bad wing !!
It appears that the spoiler base covers the width of the deck &goes over the rear of the deck(rear).Emblems are removed and covered.
I'd get a spoiler(not a wing) that would cover this same area.The OEM lip spoiler won't do this.There are many spoilers available that will cover this area .EVO-R has one that will work.You can also but prepainted in your body color.Install is easy.

I would like to simply get the small lip spoiler that comes from the factory, or the small Blitz spoiler, they're both subtle yet still noticeable. Is the spoiler sold as just the spoiler, or as a whole hatch unit? It appears that the whole thing is one unit, but I could be wrong. Also, any comments not pertaining to the wing are welcome. I've been looking to get an HR and this is too good of a deal imo to let the spoiler ruin it.

Thanks, here's the link

Good price. Looks like it's an enthusiast..has steering wheel controls.
You're OK with Auto? That wing is rediculous!

Sounds fishy for the price/mileage. Do more research through KBB and NADA on it, and get the CARFAX.

I'm sure you know by now but ditch the wing. Good luck.

Street sports car that is not manual = fail. Unless you got valid excuse like you have to drive thru traffic every day for work for hours or you're a grandpa and been driving manual all your life.

I'm not buying it. For 35K miles, you should be paying more like $12-13K.

Mine is an 04 weekend car and even it has almost 19k on it. If that isn't a typo, I wonder if that car has just been in storage for 5 years...

I talked to the dealer and he said it was an older guy who barely drove it and had traded it in for a 370

I did a kbb search for an 07 Enthusiast w/36k miles and got $21,500. Not sure where I can get one for 12-13k, but feel free to pass along your knowledge.

Look at the reviews of that "dealer". I would stay away based on the fact it's been modded. I NEVER would buy a modded car, odds are it was beat on, raced or auto-x'd.

There is no way you can get one of these years unless it has a salvage title.

Trust me if that was the case then everyone would have one..

touring has leather seats, upgraded sound system, and the little trunk lip you were referring to, as everyone stated, i would pass on it. i bought my 2005 yellow touring on emotion when i saw it, and kind of regret jumping into it so quickly. here in CT theres alot for sale, ecspecially this time of year, try lemonfree.com and of course all the other obvious used car directories. good luck.
