Default My wing/spoiler

Got asked about my spoiler in a message but idk how to send pics lol I press the image icon but it doesn’t do nothing so I’ll just make a post and share with everyone lol

it’s a eBay spoiler (doesn’t come perfect you’d have to do some sanding,throw some bondo and re priming and such) the seller is called “thespoilercompany” on eBay btw. I did everything my self because if someone else can do it why can’t I . Color matched it and it looked nice but it needed a little more pizzazz so I added the “wickerbill” window part. Went to home depot and bought lexan glass cut it/shaved it to my liking and tinted it black and drilled holes to the spoiler and added riv nuts like you would on a normal wickerbill and finished product lol (drill the wholes to your liking BEFORE you paint it obviously lol)



Yes I did sand and buff to get rid of the orange peel lol 😂

Thanks for the pics and info It's surprisingly hard to find a rear spoiler I like. I do like yours more than the style that curves around the edges of the car.

Awesome with the paint and install! I like the center piece you added, don't care for the large open center styles myself. You're right, some mods are definitely a love / hate thing (a lot of people aren't a fan of the paint on mine). The important part is you like it!
