That Greenwood spoiler is still made by Fiberglass Mike in Orlando (and on Facebook). A PO put it, or a similar repro bumper, on my 79, after cleaning off the mold seams, and filling the "Greenwood" lettering.

Thanks @Bikespace , I did see your car (and love the look) but doesn’t appear to be the same bumper (recesses in the spoiler). Any idea if the lip is the same height?

I couldn't find any indication of the origin of my bumper. It could be from Fiberglass Mike, ACI, or even Greenwood. But any script, or those two big rectangles, have been filled, or were never part of the mold. I'm fairly certain the lip on all of these examples is the same. It is taller than the Pace Car spoiler. Perhaps ACI will custom make one for you, without the rectangles?

My ACI bumper on a 78 for trial fitting. Rear View. I wasn't fond of the recesses, and have since filled them in. ACI doesn't have one without the recess. A pic I found on the forum...owner not known Another pic from the forum...owner unknown.
They're a little outrageous. I think they fit right in with the rest of the C3 styling.
Here are some more high-rise bumper photos that I've collected. The orange car was found on Fiberglass Mike's Facebook page. The others, I don't know where I found them. The slammed C3 from Japan was featured on this Forum (I think that's a stock 80-82 bumper, with additions)
If you go this route, please let us know (perhaps in your build thread)!
Below are photos of the work done on my ACI rear bumper. I filled the recesses, added two exhaust scallops, and provided for LED tag lights and a back-up camera. Also holes for '74 style letters. Its on the car now, but I don't have a picture yet.
I was concerned about too thick body filler or glass. So I used balsa sheet to fill much of the relief. Hey, the boat guys do this and get away with it.
I used fiberglass mat and epoxy resin over the balsa to completely fill the recess.
This shows the filled recesses. Ready for final prep and paint.
Other modifications included two exhaust scallops and provision for tag LEDs and a back-up camera.
