I scored a 4th gen transam spoiler this weekend for $50

 

What I did was take some 1/2" mdf and hot glued it to the spoiler and shimmed up part of it to make it level with the rear deck.

 

I am not a big fan of the whole 4th Gen spoiler thing, But You did some nice work there making it look like it belongs, Nice Work!

 

How did you mount it to the deck lid? I saw the rear mounting studs were removed in the pics. Did you put them back in?

 

They thread in place, I have them out right now but will re-install them when I actually mount the spoiler.

It's going to have four mounting points and I may have to use some sort of 2-faced tape where it sits on the glass. We'll see

 

Nice work! It's turning out great

 

Wow I like that!

 

bravo

feels good to do something that people say is imposible

 

Get some 2-sided trim adhesive tape. If you use enough of it then it should work very well, especially if you clean both surfaces with rubbing alcohol before applying. Also as long as you don't have big gaps inbetween the 2 surfaces.

 

WOW!!! this is the best thread ive read on how to do this u did a really great job on that im currently doing the same to my 88 i just wanted to know what is that 1/2 mdf u used as a spacer?

 

Yep that's 1/2 mdf

 

i agree the spoiler itself is pretty ugly. dont like the 4th gen either but you sure did a nice job making it fit. all that matters anyway is you liking it. nice job!!

 

ya but what is mdf and where can i get it

 

medium density fiber board you can get it at any lumber yard

 

Looking good

 

home depot sells 1/2" mdf in 2' x 4' sheets for around $7 ...but any 1/2" thick wood would have worked.

 

I think it looks OK on 1991 and 1992 cars, but on a 85-90 car it seems totally out of place no matter how good the installation work is.

 

where did the pics go you did an awesome job on it i was goin to use them so i could have somethin to start from... you did an A+ job on that wing.
