PHAT73's broken spoiler had the entire center section ripped away by a big piece of semi truck tire that he hit at high speed. I may have one that is broken but only at the mounting holes on the upper edge. The reason the ABS ones may be better for the average street car is that they have alot of flexability and can take alot of impact abuse without breaking. They will break however, if pushed beyond their limits. From what I have seen from fiberglass spoilers on other cars, they have a tendency to shatter when hit with much less impact force than the ABS ones would. But if you can just make yourself another or patch a damaged one up, then you might be on the right track.

Hey COOK,

Sorry I hadnt got back to yet but I am having the worst luck with my computer lately due to a pretty serious spyware virus. As Brett stated previously my broken spoiler did rip away when it was hit so all i have left is this 6 inch piece!!


I do however have another one I bought a few years ago on ebay that is over 20 years old and I have been wanting to get it replicated. I just want to know if the mold process would damage it any further as it has a few cracks and I dont want it destroyed ( they literally do not make this one anymore!). Let me know what ya think.
here is the spoiler
