High rise Spoiler Install Specs... (Not the usuall)

I already installed my high rise wing, but now after doing so, i am curious about one thing i didnt think about before i did. And thats the space between the edge of the decklid and the start of the pillars in the wing. are they flush? 1/4" ? 1/2" Any info or help is appreciated.

Also feel free to post pics... that might help me too...
Here is mine...

Love the moonroof! Spoiler looks good, too, even if it might not be exactly to OEM spec.

Wing looks similar to how my stock one is installed, can't show a pic cause car is in body shop. And I like the moonroof. Little diversity now and then is a good thing...

FYI - moonroofs are power, sunroofs are manual.

"Sunroof" is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. "Moonroof" is a term created by Ford in the 70s, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs. I mistakenly called it a moonroof.

I bought the car with that sunroof in it... it is coming out in 2 weeks, and because there already is a hole in the roof, i grabbed a electronic one out of a newer Sunfire, and will be putting that in instead. I think that will look alot better. Its about 3 times bigger, electronic, and will give it a more modern look...

Thanks BTW

The rims are ones i had to quick throw on for that show, as i worked a week straight just to get it up and running, and there... Its funny because thats what they looked like after about 15 min of srubbing them... they are all stained. Anyone know a good product to get that off? i tried everything... No biggie anyways, Some 18" Boyd Cottington's are in the future...
