Default weight of a freedom spoiler

On their site it says the shipping weight is 75lbs. I hope the spoiler doesnt way anywhere close to that because I am wanting a Sunoco hood and I think that type of spoiler balances it all out.

it is no where near that heavy, maybe 10-15lbs unfinished and unpainted...75lb shipping weight, wow, they must be using a lot of padding and a stout box

The 10-15lbs comment would be right on the money... LS1Monster has my old one (well one of them, I've had them on a couple of cars !)

It is a nice alternative to the 3 piece "duck tail" spoiler which I believe is attached by drilling in your rear quarter panels. And you can always pickup a spare decklid spoiler if you go back to stock and not be left with holes.

i dunno why people dont like it!! i think it fits perfect with our cars. especially us Z28 guys. it makes no sense to put a SS spoiler and SS hood on our cars. i think our cars should be different. i had a white camaro pass me with that spoiler and it caught my eye.. that spoiler looked mean as hell!! thats what im getting!!

I dunno, I' ve never really dug the ZR-28 spoiler, but the pics you guys have posted don' t show it with a hood. Without a hood, it looks out of place. I' d like to see it with the Sunoco hood for a re-evaluation.
