UPDATED "S" Spoiler Group Buy $320 STEP UP
I see a few people on here go through spoilers like others go through tires or even gasoline. I wonder if a group buy would be possible. If enough interest in something like this works out maybe a vendor would step up and see what we could do. I don't think it would be to hard to find 20-30 people who want a new spoiler.
Anyway let me know what you guys think.

I thought they were pretty easy to find, just cost about 500 bucks, plus odd sized shipping.
I can live with a little chunk missing out of mine for awhile longer...
edit: drop this part number into your favorite search engine, and shop away!

Agreed that it is easy to find.
My point is that it seems to be a commonly needed part among owners. I figured if we helped boost the buying power of one of the vendor's purchases by 7-10 thousand dollars at one shot it would save everyone some money or maybe just some free shipping. I always like to find a deal and if it helps some others out to why not.
I will take 2 of them to get it started.
Also I can already do better then $500 and have at about 10 available from one source. But was hoping to find one of the vendors here to support

Good luck! post the price you can get it down to. I might change my mind, but it would have to get down to half the price I have been able to find to make it worthwhile (to me)

There's always that black plastic repair stuff that can be found at some auto parts stores if all your pieces are still there. Works pretty good. Glob it on, sand it down, can hardly see it afterwards. Repeat as needed.
And, f you already have extra broken spoilers laying around, even better because you can even cut and splice in chunks of plastic from it where you might be missing some bits on yours. I'd just even out the edges of the hole so it's easier to replicate the piece to splice in, and then perform as above -- perhaps with some fiberglass cloth (or heck, why not any durable cloth like canvas or denim?) on the backside under the black goo for added strength...just a thought.

I used flat black on mine and it looks very good. The only reason I would replace mine is that the PO cracked it and got it repaired with rivets wich in not that bad. For me to be interested in a new one, it would have to be in the $200-$250 range. My car is not a garage queen so a new one is not manditory.

I can do them for $375 if we get more than 5.
Shipping can be pretty cheap as well as they curl up into a small box and go UPS.
