Mid America sold them for 299.00 I tried to order one at Bloomington Gold. That is when I was told that the vendor was having problems and they didn't think they would ever carry them again. David

ACS is selling the C6 spoiler on ebay under the store name "tiny little cars" at $199! Hopefully they will sell the C5 one for the same $ if we do a group purchase.

Not sure on the C6 spoiler, but I have seen the side skirts for sale by them from time to time on ebay. They are nice quality pieces by the way!

...prolly depends upon the price...

Some of the vendors sell this stuff like its prepainted !!
...then the prime and paint can set you back a pretty penny too

oh well ...its all worth if it looks right

It looks like the C5 mini spoiler is going to happen...
...The C6 ACS mini spoiler is on its way

...Could we get a good number here...

Id like to know how many WILL buy the mini spoiler...
...I suspect the MSRP will be at or below $300...
(the C6 version is $399 but is built around the 3rd break light assembly)

Id like to what a large number will do for a significant discount...
...and I or one of you are welcome to

Ill try to post the names of those who said yes...
...others who would like to see a GP or only a maybe...

87 covertible (Scott) you may already have a line of communication open with Dave so you may be the best negotiator...
...I will see about other channels who I know will possibly work with me on a deal when the C5 version is available...

peace

I just received my ACS Mini Spoiler for C6...

it is thin plastic and VERY light weight...
...thats not necessarily a bad thing...
I was just shocked by the material used...
...set it on the C6 and it is going to look very sharp!
I paid $200...It is worth $200...

...needs paint first...then I will install on Jami's Convertible C6...

While we wait for ACS to make the C5 version...
...I have been made aware of another company who has created their version of the ACS spoiler...

They look nearly identicle...fitting on just the ridge of the rear fascia...

http://www.tkoperformance.com

See spoiler here:

They are charging $300 but I still feel it is worth the $200 I paid...
...and I believe the material used in the TKO Performance version is similarly constructed...(not sure)

All you need to install the ACS is provided...just needs paint...

Stu
