    I don't know if I would be comfortable selling them, but I would be MORE than happy to do a detailed write-up on how to build your own for $50ish from home depot parts. Aluminum frame, a-b foam body, melted (via acetone) pvc shell and paint...

    Which ever way you go keep me posted :-) I would love to have one for mine but when I have money can't find one...when I don't have money they are everywhere :-(

      I approached the owner of a beat up festy that had a spoiler... and offered her 60 bucks for it... She accepted and I took the spoiler and drove off before she had time to change her mind!
      NICE STORY !! That sounds like one of my scores.

        If you wanted a spoiler, I would keep it if I were you. Like you said, it is functional and you got it at a great price. You can always get wheels and stuff and will probably find a great deal on them sooner or later.

              thirdman, did you get that spoiler from Eds in canada, i called on it and he told me that he had already shipped it to TX. it broke my heart when i asked the price he sold it for. i work in a fiberglass shop and could make molds easily, i'd like to find one to start reproducing

                  You weren't the only one... there was another person in TX interested in it too, but he couldn't get the shipping worked out. Funny that they probably have had that spoiler in the lot for ages, and 3+ people call about it in the same week!
