New Spoiler for me

wow looked at ur homepage at the teal one. Being a fellow teal maro owner i've been trying to decide whether or not to spray my grill gloss black or silver and i think looking at that white one i think the silver would look bitchin on it. Worse comes to worse i spray it over black eh. Nice looking ride i think the spoiler will look sick on there personally i'm going to get the jongbloed hood and 5"rear hawks spoiler

I bought mine from the same place, the quality is ok but it is far from perfect. Mine had slight warppage to it , couldnt tell till it had paint on it. I have to repaint after a little bit of massaging to get it even on top. I like it overall and its a hell of alot better than the price for a GM spoiler!

personally, i am not a fan of neon lights, but flaming like that is what gets people banned from the boards. there are mixed feelings on the neons, some like them, some hate them. anyhow. great deal on the spoiler. can't wait to get the money for my 5" iroc spoiler. i wonder what those would look like with some LED's on them? hmmmm....fabrication time!

don't care about the word R I C E, it's biased/closed minded opinion that's not appreciated. if you don't like something, say it but don't kill the guys ego by calling him stupid and stuff like that. i like neons in some cases. like, if your into crusing and stuff like that. i am more into racing, so the lights are not really an option for me. but f my car was SUPER clean (which it's not) and i was more into cruising around town, then i would consider the neons, as long as the install was done well....

i have a 3.1 v6...all i can do is cruise lol, good for you you dont like neons whoopie :lala: they add a nice touch at night and if you do the colors right it drawes all sorts of attention to your ride. most people dont like them on camaros but camaros are no better than a civic or neon. oh well your opinion, so dont buy any

"no better than a civic or neon" I think you are mistaken. Camaros are way better than a civic or neon.

Looking good man. Did deadbird help ya fit that? He's had almost every spoiler on his firebird at one point.

Gonna look real awsome man. I like the fendor vents too. How did you repair the holes along the 1/4 panel?

later,
bill

Its not that similar, mainly the 2ndgen scoop and teal paint.


looks like the wing doesn't fit flush, but at least the thirdbrake light is nice to have.

Ha (though you're right...)
Next work I do on that car.. there' going to be a lien on it...

I stopped by and looked at it today and it seems to be a pretty descent make (was to cold to nit-pick). Aside from not being attached all the way, it appears it will be a good fit to the decklid. The only real thing I noticed is it's slightly less wide that an OEM wing (or the A&A one I had) but, to someone who isn't a member here, they'd never notice. It should look good once painted.

Wiring in the light should prove interesting though.

I think you have the only upside down set though, and IMO they seem to flow better with the lines of the car upside down
