ok so after what most of you guys do in the fab thread (other than the cup holder guy lol) this probably shouldnt be here but i think TECHNICALLY im in there..picked up a 89-90 chin spoiler from the junkyard for 4 bucks to swap out my 84 Z's with..i thought it might be compatible because mine did have the 84 gfx on it. its definately not. but you can get it to fit with an avacado, some duct tape and a snorkel. oh and a propane torch, utility knife, and a few other bits. its not quite done, still gotta figure out how to attach a few sections, but i kinda like it! in some angles anyway...

 

I like it!

 

Theres a reason its not compatible

 

True..and theres a reason it's in the Fab section. u can make it work, just takes a bit more work and I like how it turned out
Ill post some more pics of the finished product when I get around to it

 

i wish i could find a lip for $4.... everyone wants 100$+ but that definatly wakes up the car. for my front lip mine was an 89 front end and to get it to attach to the fenders i drilled holes and bolted it in... imo i wouldnt use duct tape, over time itll let go from the seasons, but good start

 

Lol. I didn't use duct tape..the d.tape avacado and snorkel was a joke..movie reference
I drilled holes in the spoiler to line up with bumper holes after I used s propane torch to heat theplastic and bend it up if that makes sense

 

like some angles. not so sure about others. but you might be on to something...maybe...need more pics.

 

the pics are of a not quite finished product, but thats pretty much how its gonna look with a little more lining up..the thing thats different is the front middle section..its got the 84 bumper with its pointed bottom and there is nothing on the 90 bumper (90 is a guess) to line up with that like the 84 gfx does...but the rest lines up, or will when im done. but it doesnt look way out of place..kinda looks like 2 intentional openings instead, at least in person. im planning on painting the bumper white to match then i dont think that part will be as out of place..but again i kinda like it..looks better than the old spoiler anyway. also i didnt do any damage to the bumper if i wanna put the old one back

 

haha love the half baked reference .......... classic

 

Looks good to me. Way to save some cash.

 

ok, well heres a few more pictures after ive gotten it attached everywhere, its finished other than painting it..hopefully some slightly better pics

 

there ya go..at least someone got it

 

When I first read it, I was going to jump straight to a comment about "Isn't that how you make a bong?"
I got beat to it though

 

anyone got any ideas about its color? its either white or black, unless i happen to find a close enough gold ( the rest of my car is in gold trim)..but the whole car needs a repaint anyway so itll just be temporary, like a year or two temporary haha

 

Sweet someone from columbus. I work in grove City. I vote for leaving it black!

 

I'd go for gold just to match the rest of the trim.

 

Have u tried a junkyard? A pick n pull/u pull it can be a treasure chest of goodies..I often feel like a kid in a candy store at them.

 

I haven't looked yet but the issue I forsee with gold is finding a cheap rattle can option to match close enough. Down the road I would get a new bumper and spoiler and do it all right so it'll be somewhat temporary

 

I vote to keep it black

 

Yeah I am kinda digging the black..except when I look at the rest of the gold trim looks pretty mismatched. Maybe ill paint the other trim black too . Its either that or everything white or gold

 

ok, so i got it all painted today, decided on white for the spoiler and other gfx..its a temporary paint job, but i must say it looks better than the pics..got these new spray cans that apply the paint extremely well..im not quite done but ran out of daylight. whaddya guys think? tomorrow im gonna paint the hood black, well its gonna be black on the hood, but also about a half inch onto the fender in line with the black headlight buckets (?) bottom edge, not sure how else to describe it. theres a few guys that have that paint scheme on here, but i think it was the best idea to go with white on the chin spoiler. heres some pics

 

heres sort of the rough idea of what i was planning to do tomorrow..i know this is starting to drift into the auto detailing/appearance but oh well..

 

I dig it just white. But that's just me...

 

well, i wanted to try it so i went ahead and did the black..i can always sand it all down and start over, but i like it!

dont mind the broken side view mirror..my roomie did that..also this is kind of a temporary paint job, just got tired of seeing it in the driveway looking dumpy.

 

I think the roof and A- pillars should be painted black too. But that's just my opinion. Either way it looks good.

 

Something like this?

 

Yeah.

 

Is it fabwork? OF COURSE! It looks FAAABulous!! Sorry, my roommate is watching 'Rue Paul's Drag Race' and something must have rubbed off on me....
I vote to keep it white, by the way.
