That's the best and easiest way.

There are around 7 screws that hold it on. I am trying to swap out right now, but the screws are acting like they have been seated for 28 years. I guess I will have to drill them.

Yeah, check out the For Sale forum, they do pop-up on there from time to time.

BTW, Paul's 924S is lowered and he's got 17-inch rims... ask him how he did it

I think I spent 190 bucks for a hatch and shipping from Texas to Colorado...

I'm not sure why you would want to change the spoiler.

a.) the 944 spoiler looks out of place since its bigger
b.) the 944 spoiler is not designed (aerodynamcially) for the car, like stock 924 one is

In any respect, replacing the hatch (as its been mentioned) is the easiest way. If you don't have a rear wiper right now, you'll probably wany to remove the wiper motor and use a rubber plug for the hole in the glass.

Bigger is usually better

Not in this case though, 944 spoiler is out of proportion with the 924 body.

I have one perfect 944 hatch for sale but not to CA. Too far.

If you have an early car the spoiler alone may mot fit. You have to almost drill into the glass. I suggest you buy a 944 hatch.
