New High Rise Spoiler

I've been out of the thirdgen loop for a while so I don't know if this is old news but G&T fiberglass has a new high rise spoiler without the middle feet. I was wondering if anyone has better pics than the website(the link is the sponser above) or even a pic of it on a bird. Thanks.

I think it will look great with 91-92 blister hoods, or the SS hood. I'm glad someone finally made this... I'll definetly be getting one before I paint my car

Probably just the same as the stock 91-92 Wings

(Yes they do have bolts right at the very edge of the deck lid also)

lol i remember when the guy photoshopped that in a thread a while back.

The spoiler bolts at the end of the decklid it doesnt interfere with the opening of the trunk just as the OEM high rises do not.

I'm gonna find that thread...

found it https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=309926

a great idea none the less Erebuni used to offer one almost identical but they quit carrying them since they tried selling them for $309 and no one bought them.

And since G&T knows that, I'm guessing that's why they're selling them for $185 shipped. Which means I'll probably buy one!

Last one. 4 bolt on the outer edges hold it just fine to mount.

no one asked if you like it they were pointing out that an aftermarket part is being made for the car that is slightly different than OEM. What TPI383 did is basically what the company does also. If you read their page you can get the spoiler with or without the 2 center posts. And I don't know if they would have 2 seperate molds for that. They probably just cast it with the center part, and then cut them off and fill it. But no one can tell because they are smooth, and gelcoated when you get them.
