Finally my Formula has a spoiler again
Finally my Formula has a spoiler again
finally received the spoiler i bought off ebay. it was different color so i just took a rattle can and sprayed it. looks like poo but i just wanted to match it with the rest of the car. it looks a lot better with the spoiler. the taillights add a nice touch too
here are some pics. the spoiler is only held on by the bolts that go thru the hatch, but my old one at the edges also had what looked like clips glued to the glass metal frame. i dont have these clips anymore so does anyone know how i can attatch the side edges of the spoiler to the metal edge of the glass? anyone know what im talkin about? when i go over bumps i can hear the thing vibrate a little. in the last pic between the wing and the body is what's left of the glue that was holding one of the clips.

That looks pretty good. I'd say your best bet to finding some of those clips would be a junkyard, I'm sure other people will have more suggestions though. Is your car lowered? It looks good.

looks good.
I say ditch the flaps, i about but them on the car and well decided against it. Besides the mud adds character to a car.

Be careful-- driving around with the front legs of the spoiler unmounted will cause the spoiler legs to fatigue and break off while you're driving. I've seen it.
thanx guys. yea im kinda worried bout drivin with the spoiler like that. but where the hell do i find those clips to attatch to the glass?? or somethin that'll do the job?? yards dont have anythin around here!
BTW thanx to the previous owner who didnt have mudflaps on, the paint right behind the tires is all chipped now. i put 'em on to protect more than anything.
