I have an 88 GTA Trans Am and it still has the stock rubber spoiler on it. The paint is cracking on it. Does anybody know where I can order or buy one that isn't rubber? I plan on getting the whole car repainted perhaps next year. Thanks for any info! Matt

 

i think most of the companies advertising on the top of the page do, and also

I don't know about GTAuto...I heard there were some problems. They are not up top anymore. I would steer clear of them...Try Hawks!

 

I'm getting my wing from here:

I won't be able to look at it until spring break, but I'll let you guys know on the quality.

 

i just bought a 88 trans am gta and my stock spoiler is cracked to hell. i was planing on repainting it..is that a bad idea?

 

From everything I've been told about that rubber spoiler, it sucks to have it repainted. Even the guy at Maaco didn't want to paint it. He said it would be all cracked up again in no time. Why GM made a spoiler out of rubber is beyond me. Matt

 

Yes it will. I tried it.

 

did gm make a metal spoiler? where can you get them?

 

Well you have to realize the paint Maaco uses. Yes it will crack. Honestly I doubt they use any flex agents...I would give repainting a shot. I would think it would ahve to be totally stripped back down to the rubber and reprimed. The painting should be done with a ton of flex agent. If done right, it should last as long as teh factory paint did, if not better, I would hope. Eventually it will probably crack again, but I would think it would last quite a while. I would check with some real body shops!

 

If you stripped one to the bare rubber, and filled any cracks with bumper cover filler (like Fusor/Lord Products), then painted it and used plenty of flex agent, it might last for a while, but no longer than they did when new. You might get a couple years out of it. I'd still recommend one of the fiberglass repros though.

 

does anyone EVER sell the fiberglass spoiler used? becuase id take the time out and do the body work to it get out any scratches and whatnot and then paint it.... ive been looking for about a month for a used fiberglass aerowing and no luck. Maybe ill just have to dish out the 400 and buy one new... who knows.

 

Chances of finding a used one are pretty slim...they've only been around for a couple years.

 

i didnt know they have only been in production for a couple years but then again people are always parting out cars... ill just wait for the swap meet to come to englishtown in a month and take it from there... maybe ill find something... but until then i might as well keep looking

 

hey you got anymore info on the swap meet? i always wasnted to go to english town, and now that i got a race worthy car, i'd like to go

 

yeah the swap meet is April 11,12,13 (FRI, SAT, SUN)... all other info you can visit their site www.racewaypark.com and since you have a race worth car you should go this saturday and beat up on some imports at Street Wars and im pretty sure friday nights are open for gambling, grudges, etc.

 

ahhh man i cant make that one. barely have enough money for the 1/4 mile and with the entrence fees n ****...

plus my car is like almost stock haha. ill definatly be at the swap mee thogh
