Question Spoiler Suggestions?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a low spoiler to match my paint (Titanium Gray). Nothing to radical but nothing too boring either. Does anybody have any good ideas? Low wings are welcome too.

Thanks.

ha,,, summertime must make people want new spoilers. I just suggested the one I have in a simular post yesterday...anyway I have the Holden Monaro(GTO) factory wing on mine and I love it. Its the same height as the factory wing with a little extra flare to it. There are several people on here who have it. I got it off Ebay for $50, and the paint matching really comes down to how good your paint and body shop is...

yeah i saw a monaro wing on chrism's old car and he had a sick paint job done on it. i really do like the wing, but it's a little more flare than what i'm looking for. i do like the flare down the side of the trunk, but just not that much. is there anything similar?
thanks.

you could always go with the Mazdaspeed spoiler and make some custom stancions that are lower???the Odula wing is a real hot wing its a GT style made just for the 8 but is about factory hieght, or the Tifaria Ver.2 its also rare Ive only seen 1 or 2 on here...

removing the light assembly is quit easy, remove the carpet and I think its only two nuts,,, after that had to weld a plate in the hole and backfill, smooth over, sand and paint, whaola,,, clean and sexy....

Question

Does the Holden Monaro(GTO) factory wing align with the original trunk holes?


Edit: Nevermind, found it in another thread.

i'm pretty sure it doesn't. you have to get new holes drilled and the old ones filled. i'm fairly sure that's correct.

Ebay $50-$80 is where I got mine... yes that cheap, only becasue it is indeed a factory wing,,, search for GTO wing on Ebay if you need a specific seller PM me and I'll guide you to where I got mine and suggested to others...
