Re: wraparound spoiler
The wraparound aero wing spoilers are pretty damn expensive anywhere you go. If you have one, and it's not in that bad of shape; there is an older thread on here about how to fix the cracks in them. That's what I plan on doing since I've got plenty of other things that need attention first.
Re: wraparound spoiler
thanx guys. i am thinking about getting creative with the urathane bumper repair kit and see if i can make it look bettter than it does. i think the biggest problem other than the big cracks is the fact that someone didnt put flexing agent in paint then some moron sat on the spoiler and flexed it causing cracks across the top.

Re: wraparound spoiler
Once the factory spoiler starts to go, there's nothing you can do about it. Don't spend the money on "quick fixes" and patches. Save your change and get the fiberglass unit.
It's pricey ($415 for the spoiler, $95 for shipping, ~$100 to get it painted) but worth it.
The factory spoiler is the one eyesore on my car.

Re: wraparound spoiler
Your beat bet is strip it with 320 grit sandpaper and find a body shop with a plastic welder and have it weled front and back then prime with a flexable primer

Re: wraparound spoiler
It's not clear if your objective is to add on, or replace an existing unit.
All the comments about repairing the original bumper-plastic units
are okay, until you turn it over and all the mounting bracket metal
is rusted away, as mine was.
For the money, the Hawks fiberglass unit is a good deal. There was
a T-G group buy a while back, and everyone was mostly satisfied.
One or two guys had some fitment issues, that took a bit more effort
to overcome.
