Default My custom trans am spoiler, the way gm should have made them

hey guys just finished up my custom t/a spoiler, its a stock spoiler that i smoothed the lip on all the way around where the two halves meet, and i also shaved the top of the third brake light. let me know what you think.

wow, that looks great. so much cleaner looking. i always hated the way the top of the 3rd brake light broke up the look of the spoiler. you did a great job.

Thanks for the comments, i picked this spoiler up from the salvage yard with some minor damage to try this on to make sure it would work. I've got a lot of hours in this and and will end up putting this one up for sale and then doing it to mine to regain some of the hours and materials I've got in this one. It takes the stock third brake light with some minor mods.

OMG Amazing? How did you do that? I am looking for a new project on my car and really want to smooth where the two halves meet and do the brake light. Any advice or tips?
