TA spoiler with or without the center supports...PICS!!!

and just a heads up that dealing with all the un-employment paperwork is frustrating and not to mention a joke. one hardly ever gets a straight answer to questions, etc. its no wonder the government is all messed up. if they can't even communicate at this level, it's easy to see why we are in the mess we are currently in...

update: holes are patched and the spoiler has a coat of primer on it. will post up pics and try to get the spoiler on the car with pics to follow as well. also patched up the OEM ram air hood too!!!
looks sweet as hell with the center supports removed and is very sturdy as well!!!

yes i realize that the next thing i need to address are the mounting points on the hatch. i will eventually get those removed and patched over as well. i also have a few more coats and some final sanding to do before the spoiler is ready to take paint.
it took some time to do, but i think i did some damn good work, with what i had to work with and doing some bodywork that i have not tried before.

here are the pics for my iphone. we had time to do the hood as well. its an OEM hood from a '97 Ws6. you can see the previous condition of the hood in the pics on the 1st page. what you cant see is that there were a couple of chunks around the drivers side headlight that we had to patch. all and all, i think everything came out looking great.
here s a pic of the hood as i bought it:

I don't like it without the supports.
I think the main reason GM put it there was probably for looks. I don't know how much it would actually help out at high speeds.
I mean look at the SRT4 Neons. They have giant spoilers on them. This obviously wouldn't do a whole lot for a FWD Neon, but it looks err.. cool to some people I guess?

just doing something a little different that whats out there.
when you have extra parts and time, some people get creative. this isnt going to be some show stopper, or some drag queen, etc. at 139,xxx miles, why not work with what you got to be different. chances are only keen people will notice, and im ok with that.

I'd say no. Also, these spoilers are pretty functional (they are an upside down airplane wing, almost exactly), I bet without those supports it would flex and begin to crack the paint at least.
EDIT: That's what I get for skipping to the last page. Good work for sure! Any thoughts on lowering the spoiler some? Kind of like a cross between a Formula wing and a T/A?
