Man I'm glad Jay could help this production move forward. I'll be getting in touch with you soon about getting one.

 

I'm on Facebook too much as I just tried to LIKE your post, lol!

Most definite thanks to Zeus for sacrificing a spoiler so this could happen

 

^^Aesthetic. The CF is FG backed so weight is almost the same...

 

At least this month...

 

For the discount you'd have to order now. THEN if when it is ready to ship it doesn't look exactly like what is on the site now (the OEM pics) you can ask for your money back (just like we did with the LT1 bumper we only had photoshop pics of). HOWEVER, if it does look just like the OEM one but you, "wrecked your car, cat got cancer, etc..." in the meantime then it is the normal money returned with a 20% restocking fee at our discretion...

 

^^Also, residential is no problem. It will still come freight but they will call you to schedule delivery...

 

Order placed! Thanks again for putting this product together.

 

Order placed and I already have my brake light waiting and ready to go.

 

I'll need these two correct? Went ahead and got them, figure a new stop light would be better.

I'm glad to see people are going ahead and putting their orders in. It's nice to know that I could help Mark with getting this project rolling. As for the third brake light, it's from a Cadillac Catera. You can buy them new or go get them at your local pull-a-part. Also the CHMSL wiring harness isn't necessary. When I originally put mine in and wired it up, it wouldn't work. I called Joey at SLP and he told me to just flip the power and ground. It did the trick. That's all the harness does is flip the wires. So it's not "necessary" but it is only 10.00 for a plug and play harness so not a bad investment either. I hope that helps.

 

Same place I got mine.

 

That is good to know, plus they combined the shipping with the stop light so it was actually only 10$. One less thing to have to monkey around with, I was seeing used stop lights for like 80-90$, the new one ended up being cheaper. I am also glad Mark made this. There is a slight difference between the 93-97 and 98-02 high rise spoilers, I am really hoping that the difference just pertains to the spoiler and not the actual hatch in any way.

 

Am I the only one that doesnt like this? No offense but I feel like making these spoilers is taking away from the OEM ones.

 

As in deprecating the Firehawks that have the IROC spoilers as a factory installed option?

 

correct

 

A documented firehawk will always be the real deal, and the clones will be clones. I don't think it hurts from that perspective. Casually someone, as in the uninformed car enthusiast, might see one or the other and consider both less unique.

I don't have an issue with cloned parts of unique production run cars. How many SS hoods, berger panels, and blackbird parts are copied? Plenty of non-WS6 cars running around with WS6 hoods too.

 

well not so much as it ruining the retail value of a true Firehawk w/ IROC spoiler. But just the spoiler itself. It was a rare item, I know if I had a Pontiac I would search for a OEM one, cause thats whay I want. Like when I put a SS spoiler on my car it will be OEM. I dont know thats how I am.

 

If the quality is good and you paint it right no one will know its not oem besides you. I don't see how it could matter

 

I think the whole reason Mark started producing them was because they were just about impossible to get a hold of. The original firehawk hood is getting hard to find too. I see them on ebay, with and without the grills for the nose and heat extractors, and unpainted they run up to $1800.

 

I understand why he did it, its a business at the end of the day you have to keep the lights on. I mean if theres a market and your able to produce a product...The thing I was referring to is when you see a IROC spoiler A you either love it or hate it hahaha and B you look at it and say oh Ive never seen that before or something along those line. I guess what Im trying to say is I like that fact that it was exclusive almost. It made that particular bird stand out from all the rest...now not so much...
