    Flushmount find

    I came upon an OEM flushmount for cheap on craigslist of all places. The price was $50, the guy posted it simply as an accord spoiler....didn't say what year. So I called the guy and he told me that it is flushmount. But I didn't want to believe him because it is so rare. Then when I called the guy again I couldn't get a hold of him and he wouldn't return my calls. After more than two weeks I decided to give him a call and managed to get a hold of him. We arranged to meet at a carwash place last Monday. When I saw that it was indid a flushmount, I couldn't believe my eyes. He told me it came off a 90 accord, burgundy in color. One of the mounting bolts came off but he can be put back on with maybe jb weld. Long story short got the flushmount for $40. I know, I know not as cheap as a junkyard find but I'm pretty satisfied with the price.

    I would like to apologize for not posting pics. I'm using my friends laptop and for some reason it won't recognize my camera. But I will post pics as soon as I can.

          I was! I was just downplaying it. Even if I paid the $50 asking price it was still a steal.

            Even here. I just lucked out and found one on craigslist.
            The guy that I bought it from said he just managed to take the flushmount before the insurance took the car.

                        if you need some of those screws, I believe they sell them at hardware stores aor home depot. They're capped at the end, not ordinary ones but it shouldnt matter :P

                          also have to re-attach the mounting bolt. I'm thinking of using jb weld.

                          any suggestions on what to fill the cracks with?
