hey,
im about to fit vrx wing to my tj. it didnt come with a fitting kit. by the looks of it, it needs a rubber seal? mitsi dont make the kits anymore. what should i do?.

should be easy enough to go to Bunnings or Clark Rubber and buy some high density foam or rubber...

I need to know what the seal looks like? cant tell from looking at the spoiler

Just take a trace of it....get a square piece of some thing and cut it out,not that hard..

yeah, but till the rubber cover the whole base or just the outside lip?

Whole base gasket is a single piece of rubber. Its there to stop water from getting into the boot past the bolt holes, and to stop the spoiler from moving about and marking the paint. 2 - 3 mm neoprene or similar, trimmed to match the outside contour of the joining surface. Make the bolt holes a bit bigger so you can slide the gasket around before you tighten the bolts.

Then again you could just put a bead of clear silastic around the outer edge before you bolt it down. lol

Include the lip too. Most spoilers I have seen have the gasket protrude slightly out of the joint, so you see a black line where the spoiler joins the metal work.

Best way to get a good fit. I wouldn't worry about any cutouts except for the bolt holes. Maybe stay 2 mm from the edge when you trim it?

thanks for your help madmax!

The actual fitting kit isn't just rubber, it's self adhesive. To the point where the bolts are probably only there for looks.
