Default Spoiler Mock-up

Waited 3 months for it and it finally came today.

I DEFINITELY need to get the Sonoco hood and some rims now.


What do you guys think, black or body color? I'm really swayed towards black

What spoiler is that? I think that would look good on my car once I get my pin-on Sunoco hood.

Body color for sure. Black would look pretty crap in my opinion.

It's a "freedom designs" 3 inch spoiler. Those things look killer with a nice hood, had one on my 94 and at $160 brand new you can't go wrong. the sponsor LMperformance has them

Oh and definitely body color.

Depends. If you're definatly getting a sonoco hood, I'd go black on the hood buldge and black on the spoiler. If no black on the hood.. leave the spoiler body color.

I say keep it body colored, unless you intend to get your hood painted black.

I'm going to get a Sonoco hood and paint the side of the cowl black.

I got a quote of $150 to paint it black or body color doesn't matter.
$50 for mounting it.

I'm going to go against the grain.
It will be getting painted gloss black to match the mirrors and hard top.
