Yes they will interchange w/no problems.
And you can get a new wing-the aero wing is clipped to the rear window by clips-you have to be careful when you pull it off if you want to reuse the factory clips. Will you use another aero wing or go w/the base Bird flat spoiler?
Welcome to the board!!

Sorry! Don't know where I got that from!
You can change just the lens but it's a real pain to do--plus you risk breaking it. Better off just replacing the entire light--easier too.

Thanks Tony&fiream.
Yes, fiream.
I want a tail like yours!
It's cool.
I found it at Ames Performance.
This project will be done by the last of this year.
Then I'll post here, again.
See you!
