AAR Cuda deck lid
« on: July 04, 2017 - 01:44:04 PM »
Have a AAR cuda aftermarket spoiler I want to put on a 73 cuda. Is there a replacement trunk lid that is predrilled or do I have to drill holes in a 70-74 lid? Thanks for any info.

You will have to drill holes in all of them, but the 71 AMD decklid has the spoiler cutouts in the underside structure for installation access.

 :iagree: Agree with what GGC said....

I added an AAR aftermarket spoiler to my 72 barracuda.

I basically made a template of sorts for the holes, measured 50 times and then drilled the holes.....

Then used a 1" hole saw to open up the area under the holes for being able to access the nuts.

There must be a run on these things....had a guy at Carlisle asking me all kinds of questions about the same thing....LOL

I'd post some pictures but Photbucket screwed me over....

There's templates available to locate the cutouts.

definitely get the templates.  Well worth the cost.
