which spoiler?

I just put the new hatch on my car, my old was destroyed when i got rearended a couple monthes ago. The hatch was off a 91 RS. It has the center of the 3 piece spoiler on it. I have my old flat firebird spoiler to put on, but i dont want to do the drilling and filling myself, plus it needs to get painted to body color so i'm not sure if i'm gonna have the cash to have the spoiler put on. Should I :

1) keep the camaro spoiler on and paint it to bodycolor
2) try to get the money or put the spoiler on myself
3) leave it as it is, unpainted with the camaro spoiler on, until i get money to do it all

Need some opinions here, I am really strapped for cash, but I hat driveing a multi-color car. And I'm unsure on the camaro spoiler bein on there. And I am not good with body work.

Thanks,

Matt

Well the problem was I didnt know who hit me. I was driving back to school after my winter break. Me and my buddy had all our stuff in the car so I could barely see out the back. then we ran into a snow storm. Long story short we were involved in a big pileup on I94 near Battle Creek, MI. The state cops told us anywhere from 30-50 cars were involved. The only thing the cop gave me was a claim number for insurance, and all the coverage I have is no fault so I was kinda screwed. After he gave me the number he told me to leave. I was one of the few cars that was still able to drive.

None of the options are that great, but I say keep it as is until you can do it right. repainting it temporarily will cost more time and money and make it even more work when you have it professionally repainted.

How does that look with the Camaro spoiler on it? I always wondered that.

No pics right now. I dont own a digi-cam, and the car is at home right now, I''m up at college. I'm goin home this weekend so if I can I'll try to borrow my buddys camera and snap a few pics. It doesnt look that good, looks outta place though.It would be better if it extended over the quarters, instead of just on the hatch.
