Spoilers???

I have an 89 Formula 350 with the wrap around spoiler. Well needless to say the stupid thing is cracking and looks like a piece of shiznit. I'm looking to replace it with a new one. Then I got to thinking and thought maybe I'll put something different on.

I'd like to see some spoilers from you guys. But not the usual stuff... lets see some different spoilers... something I haven't seen before.

I want to view my options. And yes I have done an extenise search on the topic, but I'd like to see what the "different" spoilers look like on the car as apposed to a picture of just the spoiler, like most web sites do.

Thanks in advance...

No offence to anyone intended, but face it. The best looking spoiler is the stock aerowing. Nothing else comes close. Why be different when it doesn't look as good?

Its actually a type of plexiglass. The style that they use for florescent lights to diffuse the the light. Its got the square pocket built into it that gives it the texture you see. I got them initially with the idea of installing some type of lighting behind them, but I was never able to find anything that was skinny enough that would not cost a fortune, and would still look good when the light was not on.

I ended up spraying the backside of the plexi with transparent candy apple red from Testers and then backed it with crome tape. So now it reflects in when the light hits it. I had to bend teh plexi with a heat gun to get it the right shape.
