Default S4 Spoiler

Does anyone know where one might purchase a fiberglass S4 spoiler? I would like one that is fiberglass because when I get the car repainted I wanted to get the spoiler painted to match as well. Thanks

I was looking at the spoiler on the vertexauto website and it says the weight of the wing is 79 pounds. Is this correct? That seems a little on the heavy side.

That must be a misprint. It would have to be solid fiberglass to get to that weight. Give them a call.

Try http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com/porsche-wings.htm. Thats where I bought mine. Good quality but the mounting holes did not line up so I had to redrill them. Maybe they have got that corrected.

No it doesn't, it has something to do with the way that shipping is calculated. I asked about this as well. They are very light.

Ah, I see. Thats called dimensional weight. The part takes up alot of room on the truck but weighs nothing. If they strictly charged by the pound, they would lose their *** when shipping feathers and S-4 spoilers.

George, are you and Dora the Explora' going to Sebring?

I am also shopping for one for my S-4. I spoke with Jim @ 928Intl yesterday, and theirs are less than $300. I am going to order one as soon as my wife goes out of town on business
