Another junk product from showcars!!!
Alright so yes I made the mistake of buying an aero wing fiberglass spoiler from showcar body parts. I should've done my research on him. So I received the spoiler... Nowhere near fitting. Crappy mold and one side is up about 4 inches higher than the other. One side where is mounts to trunklid is not anywhere to being flush. Their answer...just push down and apply force to mount it. Haha ya with fiberglass that far off. So I could fix it and cut where the twist is but have no time. Basically do any members in canada know of anywhere that makes these aero wings for trans ams? Just finished the paint job and would like to mount the spoiler and get it done. Since our exchange rate is so bad and would also like to support canadian companies. Also never EVER BUY FROM SHOWCARS!!!

If it's the company I'm thinking of... yep, they are garbage and sell garbage. Owner is trash for selling people the horrendous pieces he does.
Your best bet really is states side.

Got burned 20 years ago...cant believe he's still selling this crap! Hours to fit a hood, 7 coats of candy paint and blistered as soon as it saw sunshine (There were pockets of air trapped between glass and gelcoat).
Make sure, whoever preps your Hawks spoiler, block sands it well or you may see ripples in it. Otherwise, they fit nice. Right Buddy???

Lol, yea. Make sure whoever paints it doesn't cut corners and takes a bit of effort to prep it before slapping on the paint.
