Went Spoilerless I decided it was time to remove the spoiler. I'm glad I did. A couple plastic hole plugs from McLendon's hardware, some touch up paint, and done! It's growing on me very quickly. No pics yet, but I'll have some as soon as I get my new tips to go with my Stainless Works exhaust(long story).

hey not to hijack your thread, but are those Privat Fahrens on your goat???
if so, where did you get them and are they 17x8?
I'm planning on a set of Hyper grays. did you have to do ANY modification to get them to fit? did they come with hubrings? TIA for info and get some pics up of the !spoiler.

Yes, they are Privat Fahrens, and they are Hyper Gray(They are pretty light for Hyper Gray). They are 18x8 in front and 18x9 in rear. They are at 40mm offset. I cut out my rear fender lips so I could run 275s. I would guess running 245s on an 8 inch rim should not be a problem for most tires. I ordered through my local Discount Tire, but I believe Todd@ProDyno can make you a good deal as well. I'm not sure about the hub rings, but I've had these above 150mph on straight highway and done a lap day at Pacific Raceways running as fast as 125 on the straightaway with no problems at all.

Remember the Monaro doesnt have a spoiler. Spoiler was added only for the US thats why it looks tacked on.. Car looks way better without it.
I took mine off the same day I got my car home.

I'm not big on the stock spoiler, so I think !spoiler looks good. I also really like the SAP spoiler though. It's a bit importy, but it goes really well with the lines of the car IMO.
