Can I ask why? You have a Formula. The stock spoiler is up so high it wouldn't hit anything. A GTA, 91-92 Camaro or 84-90 Camaro I could understand, but for a Formula? Not intended as a criticism of your car or plans in ANY way. I'm just trying to understand your reason is all. Lon

What the hell are you talking about?

Anyway, get a fiberglass one. The rubber one will turn to crap just like the one you already have. The fiberglass one is a dead ringer for stock, weighs almost nothing, and won't turn into a pile of crap in a year.

Sorry, I thought he was referring to the front spoiler. I agree on the recommendation of fiberglass for a rear spoiler. Lon
