It's something the third-gen guys have been doing for awhile...

Go to a hobby store and by translucent red spray paint... Tape them off and spray them (after wiping area down with alcohol, I did NOT sand or scuff them).

Since the pictures I went back over them with clear coat, now they look a darker, deeper red and match the REAL red part perfectly !

On a lot of stock ones the center pedestals barely or don't touch... These are down pretty well but if you want it to fit COMPLETELY flush they have screw holes to screw them down.

I didn't do that though because, well I just change my damn mind too much to make a commitment like drilling into the hatch where it would be visible if there were no SS spoiler

The ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SPOILER AND A FACTORY SS SPOILER is that the factory spoiler is two pieces, just like the stock Z28 spoiler and just like the stock Trans-Am spoiler...

So on the factory spoiler there is a line at the top where the two pieces are joined together... this spoiler does not have that because it's molded from ONE piece...

Putting it side by side, on a car, with a factory spoiler you would think the factory spoiler was the replica because being one piece makes it look SOOOO much cleaner and flows with the lines off the quarter panels SOOOO much better...

I'll work on getting you guys better pics today...

Do you have any really closeup pics of the spoiler in terms of the fitment of each side and the center pillars? Also maybe the back edges where it flattens out and lays on the hatch? Just trying to get an idea of how well it fits.
Here you go ! I'd say it fits pretty damn good for $240 shipped ! FYI: All the body shop did was paint it, no sanding for fitment was needed:













Hope this helps !

Very nice fit, like you said, it looks good without that separation line.

Thanks!

Took some pics of the Mufflex (it's dirty, I know) while I was out:







One day I am going to detail the car and take GOOD (not this impromptu crap) pictures...

Wow, that does appear to fit pretty well!

I guess I can't really think of any other pics I'd need of it. You got some pretty good angles. My only other question is did the third LED brakelight come with it, or did you have to pick that up at a stealership? (They charge $100+ for those SS brakelights).

I may be getting my spoiler sooner than I'd thought if this thing is as good of quality as you say....

Wow, what a deal! I think I may go with this company instead of SpoilerDepot since it looks OEM and fits so well. I'm trying to think of other guys that have ordered through them; I know Phantomzer0 also has this spoiler. Thanks for all the pics and info!

What are your next plans for the car?

Yup, $245 shipped and it looks better than factory (but still had factory size LED unlike spoiler depot) is hard to beat !

Looks GREAT Mark!!

My turn signals are doing the same thing. I noticed it on Friday when I picked the car up from having the oil pan and other damage fixed from that stupid rock. I guess I'm gonna have to drill mine out, too... damn things...

They are real Z06 rims, so 17's and 18's...

The drop is the heater hose mod in the back and the grey eibach springs in the front...
