So something like this will work with a bit of cutting? Sorry about the link, I'm not up on brands for these kind of wings:

From what I am thinking, you'd have to cut slits in the spoiler for the trunk lid to open. If you sanded the edges real good and round and repainted it, I doubt it would look bad. You could also just mound it in the center of the spoiler to the actual trunk lid and have the corner pieces float, either way, it would require modification.

Well so far I'm not sure what I want to do as far as a wing, but I'm starting to just want to do something that will not take to much to install, I'd rather not modify anything for it to work, the only thing I have considered, since it's sort of low profile is this one, and even then I'm not really sure about it, and I'm sure several people will probably gag, either way to each there own:

No, NO NO...

It is ugly. You need a nice stock looking wing that fits the car, not some formula 1 looking stuff. Just my 2 cents.

The Tamon Design duckbill is probably the closest you will get without modifying it just to fit a vert. They have carbon and fiberglass versions available.

Wow!!! That wing is hot, I'm not even sure I could even get one for a decent price.
