Replacement fiberglass spoiler for Formula

Does anyone have any experience with the one from Next Generation/Year One? Does it come with the all the hardware necessary to attach it? Any problems with cars with the third brake light?

Are there other places where I can get one? (GTAuto isn't taking new order for the next month or so it seems, and I want to get one soon.)

Hey lavamadness,I didn't know Next gen. even offered one.This one I got from GT auto about 6 months ago,but I just put it on.Everything mated up perfectly.R and R took about 30 min. and couldn't be easier.The internal frame on my old wing was completely rusted out.At $400 it not a cheap piece,but I can't imagine how it could be made better or easier.

I know i'm another new guy and all but I used to work at a Chev. dealership and when I had my T/A repainted I ditched the 87 spoiler (like 40 pounds worth) and replaced it with a 91-92 T/A spoiler (only weighs like 10-15 pounds) I'm guessing on the weight. But seriously I think the 91-92 spoiler looks great weighs a lot less and is made of hard plastic like material as opposed to the paint chipping, boat anchor, rubber. the only catch is that the bolt holes don't line up. I went the extra step and had the old ones welded and filled and drilled new ones but you can probabally get away with just putting in some plugs with silicone, the 91-92 spoiler sits a lot lower on the rear deck. Also I think I paid under $300 for it as opposed to the small fortune you usually have to pay for an aftermarket or factory 86-90. I can take some pix if you would like.
