Prob be cheapest to get some cheap fiberglass and whip one up yourself. Composite work is real easy, and than you can get an awesome "custom" look. Find some old Styrofoam on the curb, shape it, cover it, golden! Just an idea, and prob the rat rod-er in me coming out.

u can try gmpartsdirect website look up the spoiler..if you want the SS style its called "flushmount"
but its best to get it from dealer because im not sure if it will come with all the mounting hardware together or if you have to buy everything seperatly

Now your talking my language! Carbon Fiber is kind of played out on the Rice scene though. I would go with Fiber glass and paint match it, but, just me.

(just checked your other posts, and saw you do composites for a living, cheers, and good luck with your venture.)

I'm actually a mechanical engineer by profession, but I play with composites for a hobby and possible future business venture.

I also plan on making fiberglass spoilers at the customers request.

That is exactly what I want to do. Not a fan of the loop style spoiler, looks like it came straight off the PT Cruiser. I like the SS spoilers, but want something different...just have to figure out how to go about it. Victweezy, wanna share some more tips with me? Never worked with fiberglass before...that's all that is holding me back from trying it.

I'm thinking I'm going to do some fiberglass to make a new rear bumper for dual exhaust pipes (maybe just for show, maybe for real?). If I'll post a how to when i get around that point, with a bunch a pics, and I'll try to talk ole girl into filming how I do fiberglass if there aren't already how to vids out. It sounds complex, but it's really simple when someone shows you how to do it.
