There are aftermarket companies that make fiberglass aerowings. They arent cheap, I paid around $550 for mine, but they are still cheaper than the OEM rubber/metal spoiler. Plus they wont crack like the GM and are lighter. I got mine from Next Gen., try a search to find other companies that sell them.
