Spoiler Make Over

So after some thought and scouring through plenty of pictures of various painted spoilers for these cars I decided to pull it off and give it a make over.  I was torn as to which way to go with this for a while.  First I thought about just painting the underside of the spoiler as the pics I had seen gave it a good flair, then I considered just doing the top.  In the end however, I just said to hell with it and did the entire thing.

Here is a quick shot before work began to see how it was in stock form.

Stock Spoiler Look

 

And here we are with the spoiler removed.  Man, these cars are kinda fugly without the spoiler on it.  It just looks… wrong somehow.  You can also see just how much road dust/pollen/ect was caked underneath the mounting posts.

Without Spoiler

 

It was already getting pretty dark by the time I had it mounted back up, but here is a shot of it in the garage with what little light I could muster.  I need to grab a daytime shot of it tomorrow.

Painted Spoiler

 

All in all, I think it is pretty decent looking.  Not the greatest up close since it was done with a rattle can like the sail panel and bumper, but I am considering picking up some nice satin black auto paint and giving it a proper spray since I picked up an HVLP gun the other day.
