SNEAK PEAK at our 2010 Camaro Spoiler... So, I had an idea to combine the First Gen style spoiler with the new styling of the Fifth Gen, here's a sneak peak...
LS1Dave got the rough shape started and then the EXTREMELY TALENTED McNord did all the heavy lifting.
We're about to test fit and then start production. I won't know pricing until we have it back here and are making the mold but follow the development and check out a lot more pics of it here...

Yea, its very hard to tell what kind of impact its going to have on a car. I just can't make the transition in my head from sawhorses to a 2010 camaro. Definitely wanting to see pics of it on an actual car, and even if there was a factory rear spoiler car in the pic alongside for comparison, thatd be awesome! 
Its about time someone started producing a good aftermarket spoiler for the 5th gens! Can't wait to see installed and even painted pics

Ok, so here's where we are at... We tooled the mold for the plug just so we could have a fresh fiberglass piece to make tweaks to. Popped the first one out of the mold and here's what she looks like on the car...
There are a couple of small issues (moving a bolt hole 1/8", etc...) BUT I'm at a stand still on this right now.
Basically, I don't make my stuff in China, I get it made here in the USA. That being said, injection molding isn't an option for us price wise (we don't have $20,000 to drop into a spoiler). SO, our guy literally has about 5 molds that he made (for different parts of this one piece) that go into producing this one spoiler.
That being said, to make a 10% profit I'm looking to sell these at $450 ($500 on ebay).
BECAUSE OF THAT, I don't know if I'm going to move forward with this. That is a LOT of money for a spoiler when you can get Chinese spoilers for $200-$300.
I would have to put another $1000-$2000 in getting this spoiler tweaked, a new mold made and a production piece for testing again and then my cost per piece is so high I'd have to sell for $450 and again, that's actually a little less than 10% profit.
Would anyone even buy this thing? Also, since I'm tweaking it anyway, I could go ahead and just make it extend to the quarters... Thoughts?

I think it would look great if it went all the way to the quarters especially in that thick style. The first prototype looks really good so I can only imagine the finished product.
However, with that said youve got to make profit. If you cant it doesnt make sense at all.
