spoiler question? why so much

[ppasqual]

im i a little confused about why people sell there spoiilers on this site for up and over $175 + shipping, is it different form festiva motorsports brand new oem spoiler thats sold for 125?: http://www.festivamotorsport.com/per...pexterior.html

i realize that there a hard item to come by, but whats wrong (if anything) with fms'.

Anybody know if they still have the lower hatch spoiler?

[Britstiva]

I don't know about the lower hatch spoiler.. but the upper spoiler was only on a few models. So they're like a commodity... rare. If you find one, most of the time you don't get the screw covers that fill in the holes in the spoiler. So to find one with the caps, you end up paying the $$$ to get it.

The lower spoiler is even harder to find.

If I'm not mistaken, FMS has been sold out of them for a long time.

Caps have been reproduced by a upstanding member/owner here so they are available.
The screws are should be stainless steel and again available from a good fastener supply store.
It's all about supply and demand!
So far the demand is higher than the supply.
But not so much that someone could profit from making a tool to reproduce them.
So they go for relatively high $ amounts when they are sold, unless someone just wants a quick sale, then the price is a bit lower.
One went for $500 on ebay sometime ago, for comparison.

Festivamotorsport had OEM spoilers, when they ran out they were all gone. that's why I hoard spoiler's!!!!!! hahhahaahahahahahahahaha:p

^^ kinda a lousy move... should let the masses enjoy them to promote the festiva sportyness label.

Sure for the right price they are for sale!

[ppasqual]

so whats a fair/average price to pay at a junkyard? if ones found.

[eurotiva]

^$50 in my opinion.....that's what I paid for mine

[IdealSociety]

i lucked out and got mine for 100$ when FMS was selling them on Ebay.

but that would have probably been 5+ years ago...
