Looking to get this spoiler for my car and have seen them range from like $170 to $300+ Does anyone have experience with any of those and how much of a pain is it to put them on? I would like to do the maintenance myself then just have the body shop fill in the holes from the old spoiler and repaint the trunk lid.

It's just drilling some holes. Not hard to do that part.
But filling the existing holes is not so easy. On a large flat panel like a decklid, they will never get it right. Welding the holes closed is going to warp the thin metal around them, bondo is going to eventually crack up and fall off as the lid flexes.

When I got mine, it was supposed to have the GO wing on it, but they installed a regular R/T spoiler. I made them replace the trunk lid, because I new on my black car, it would be nothing but waves in the body work.

I have the Cervini's version of the 70 Go-Wing. I had my bodyshop fill in the holes from the stock spoiler and paint the decklid. I had my body man use the Cervinis's recommended location points which is a little further back than the 70's versions. Dale's Cuda Shop also sells a '71 gull wing version that mounts in the same location (further forward on the deck lid) as the 70's versions do. Or you can get the stock appearance package wing and mount it per Dodge stock recommendations. I spent about $800 to get mine done, but it depends on how expensive your body guy is in your area for the paint and body work. Here's a pic of mine:

Ok, My only concern is the $160 one being crappy quality. I trust myself for the install but dont have the tools or anything to do the rest. Dang 800 seems like a lot. When I had my Super Bee it came with a license plate bracket attached to the front. I was in TN and they dont use front plates so I removed the bracket, had them fill in the holes from it, then sand it down and paint the center section of the bumper black to match the normal SRTs front and that only cost like $150 or so.

Different rates in different parts of the country. My guy is expensive, even for here; but, he does excellant work, so I guess it's all good in the end. Welding aluminum and not warping it is something, I can't do on my own, so I had to make due. If you can do your own welding and painting will save you a bunch.

. . . Welding aluminum and not warping it . . .

The trunk lid is actually steel. The hood is aluminum.

Ok then, whatever metal it is, takes skills that I don't have to fill-in the stock spoiler holes & make it look right. Many just buy those plastic plugs and call it a day. To me that looks half done. YMMV

Either way, it's a large, flat piece of very thin metal. It would take an extremely talented welder to fill those holes and not warp the panel. A hack shop would just slop some bondo in it.

I really like the Cervini wing, but like others here I already have the stock spoiler and do not want to bodywork my trunk lid.
