I just spoke with my firends at Ecklers...
...ACS went out of business suddenly 3 months ago....even with Purchase orders outstanding!
They know that htis part was made aout of eurothane...
...and Ecklers only works with Fiberglass themselves because of the cost of tooling...
(they sell products manufactured by others that are urothane construction)
They said that they would look into the fabrication of a part similar to the ACS mini spoiler version only made in Fiberglass instead of urothane...
The only thing that may be an issue will be making it stick...but not a biggy...
So...if any one has one they want to sell...that may be all I need to reconstruct in fiberglass...
Ecklers did say that if they knew there would be orders they would consider fabricating if possible...

Count me in too
Hey guys,
I actually ordered one of these beauties back in February from Mid America, they gave me the run around for about 4 months saying it should be in on the next truck but it never showed finally they sent me a postcard saying that because of availability problems they no longer carry the spoiler and credited my money back.
I am very picky about what goes on my vette and it is either this particular spoiler or the Group 5 rear fascia from West Coast Corvette. I'm not looking forward to spending $800 on the rear fascia. So if they can make this spoiler available again I would definitely buy one, a group deal would be awesome. Please let me know as soon as you guys find out.
Thanks,
Dave
