The 2003/04 have a different spoiler cover than 97-02. Hopefully he has a 03/04 from another car, otherwise prepared to spend some $$$ on eBay for a used one. I highly recommend using caulking to secure the cover down as those clips are very brittle at this age. You want to use caulking and not glue in case you need to remove it in the future.

Would caulk/glue be enough to hold it in place?
Except clips it is intact... so I though - heck, maybe I should go the "redneck", or HelpmeDIY route and simply glue it.

I caulked mine over 5 years ago and have gone as high as 140mph

I'm still hoping to get a good title for my '04, but the seller keeps saying "It should be here next week." It's looking more like a parts car every day, but the spoiler cover is already gone.
