bird vert spoiler ideas

my spoiler is cracked and impossible to find, so i was toying with other ideas. here's what i got:

1. i've seen camaro verts with the highrise spoiler. they look good, but i've never really seen a close up of the sides of the trunk without the 3 piece vert spoiler. would it look butchered and require me to fill holes?

2. what would it take to fabricate a 91/92 GTA spoiler or even a 4th gen T/A wing to fit on my car? would it even look decent? can anybody do a decent photoshop from any of the pics thru my sig?

3. i guess i could get just a plain old regular spoiler and put it on the trunk lid, but that wouldn't be very cool.

4. the passenger side spoiler piece is cracked all the way through on mine. can i just fill the crack with something?

i'd really be interested in doing the second option, if it looks halfway decent.

I vote for option 4. Take it to a reputable body shop and see if they would be able to fix it. More than likely they will be able to.

Good luck!

Id have to agree.......

I agree with 3.1EyeCandy. I like option 4. There would have to be a way to repair that spoiler. Your car is a nice ride, & it really needs the correct spoiler.
