5 inch spoiler thread broken

It would seem that the 5 page thread about the 5 inch spoiler is broken as I can't ever post to it. Anyhow, what ever became of this, has anyone received one of these spoilers yet ? I really want to see what they look like on a camaro.

i know someone got one, the look cool but i guess the fit and finish wasnt what the person who recieved it thought it should be. it wasnt perfect but i havent heard anymore in a while and would like to see it on some cars.

I have one, they fit OK for an aftermarket piece. You'll need to elongate some of the stock holes and do some sanding on the pieces themselves. It took about 1/2 hour to get the thing to fit halfway decent. If you've ever done body work it really shouldn't be that big a of a deal. I've seen far, far worse.

ive seen them and in my opinion they look badass. really give the car a mean look. $350 is a stretch though. besides im sure these things are handmade. i wouldnt be surprised if they need some loving with a sander. i guess theyre worth it though, nothing custom like that is perfect.

just my $.02
