I was at the Food Lion Auto Fair this weekend and stumbled across a fiberglass spoiler fo $5! It looks similar to the Celica GT spoiler that I've been wanting so I picked it up.
I'm thinking about extending the feet a little and angling them at the bottom to match the slope of the trunk so it doesn't tilt backwards. Probably tilted forward a little more than in the pictures. I also thought about extending the ends of the spoiler and bringing them to a point like on the Celica spoiler, but matching the shape of the trunk.
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about on the Celica as reference.
Any other ideas?

for $5, you can't go wrong. even if you screw it up, you aren't out much at all. i think it will look pretty good.

I had thought about that..
but the Celica spoiler is plastic and I don't have what I need to make it fit the sunfire. Besides, it would be difficult to get the shape nice with a plastic welder . This one allows me to actually fit the shape to the car and make it look like it belongs there.
i do like the low stance of the spoiler now! kinda just flows w/ the curves w/o being in the air.

I think your ideas you have planned for it will look good. Worth a shot!

Last time i ate there i had to call in sick then next day at work because my stomach was soo screwed up.
On topic:
It reminds me of John Piparo's fire.
Epicness is coming. Are you ready?
Always liked Piraro's fire. I just don't like the front of the Xplosion. With the all around look of that car though, I looked over that though.
Wow... should have read that one more time.
Yeah. I'm gonna get a good base before I do any real work on it. I am just impatient, and wanted to see what it would look like. I actually put some makeshift legs on it and made the shape follow the shape of the car. I didn'thave anybody to hold it for me so I could step back and see it.
The guy had 2 spoilers. I wish I had gotten both so that I could make it both ways. I'm leaning toward extending the legs and width though. I've just always liked the Celica or Charger spoiler.
leave it how it is looks good
I am going to do it something like this. I will probably put it a little farther back which will bring it down lower. I'll probably shorten the legs a bit too. My aim is to get it about level with the high point of the trunk.
At first i didnt know how it would look, because i prefer spoilerless sunfires.. but.. i actually am liking this, cant wait to see it finished.
Liking it a lot.
