89 iroc vert rear spoiler

New to the forum! I have a 1989 Iroc-z convertible that i bought brand new. Its a black ext, grey int, black top with a 5 speed manual (rare - i know). 25,000 original miles and pretty much unmolested. The rear spoiler has been repaired a while ago (like all of them i think) as one or 2 of the studs broke off. Is there anywhere i would be able to find a near perfect (or at least one with all the stand offs still attached) one? I have been looking for a while and have had no luck anywhere. Just trying to fix the last little things so it can be perfect. Cost isn't an option - especially if i can find a new, nos one. Thanks!

Re: 89 iroc vert rear spoiler

Is it just missing studs or is there other damage? If it's just the studs, there's a few threads here on repairing them. I have the same issue, mine was loose, I pulled it and the studs were all barely hanging on. For now I lined the entire mating surface of the spoiler with 3M high bond tape and stuck the damn thing on there. So far so good but I do have plans to replace the studs.

Search here if it's just the studs, you'll find repair threads.

Tootie, how big is that can of plasti-mend? Does it come in smaller sizes? Where did you buy it?
I used some "flexible bumper repair" in a tube & its worked very well, but curious on the stuff you used.

Re: 89 iroc vert rear spoiler

The stuff is insane. I ordered it online from them. I used it to repair black ABS roof boxes that had been damaged in a low-garage beam incident. Thought I would try it on the wing and the stuff worked really well.

I bought this one:
