Lol it does look like a surfboard now that you mention it. The wife and I noticed it but didn't think to much of it. The paint is a little off. How much would one be to replace it? Here comes the dumb question was is the difference between the 1SS and 3SS? I still have my GS in the garage. I need to fix my trans. More pics with the tinted windows.

I say keep the surfboard style spoiler on. Gives your car a unique look. Also, take to GM badges off, and also take the "Monte Carlo" badge off the trunk. Just leave the "SS" on the doors and the trunk.

Thanks! Great advice! I also wanted to paint or get a some stick on black bowties for the rim center caps and swap the grill one for the SS also. I am unsure on swapping the white SS badges for the black ones. I have never been a fan of the gold bowtie. When I had my 00 S-10 it had the gold ones too. With the 16x8's and 2in drop it just didn't look right IMO.

ive never been a fan of the surfboard. the 06/07 nascar spoiler is different then the older model ones. its expensive and hard to come by. i agree with getting rid of the monte carlo on the rear and the gm badges though.
