Default Installed my color-matched spoiler today

Hi Everyone,

Bought a spare rear spoiler from a 'lister and finally got it painted to color-match the car.

Picked it up from the paint shop this morning and installed it, looks sharp.

It looks great Joe. You should have had them color match the bumperetts while they were at it.

Like this.

My inner ricer likes the spoiler. The taller the better...

Smiles,

Maybe its just me, but since I installed the silver wing this morning, the car has gained 50 HP and is much, much faster!

Based on the suggestions above:

1) I am setting up a Tequila shot bar on the wing, free salt and lemon slices.
2) I will add the old black wing above the silver one. RKD's ricer photo is correct, the more wings and the taller the wings, the better. Two wings should push me up above 400 HP and top speed of 210 mph.
3) Bumperettes are going to be color matched - to a black 928
4) While I'm not going "spoiler free" as Tom in Austin suggested, I have feelers out for his girlfriend/wife's phone number. I think she would look really nice on the back of my 928 too! (See Tom's avatar.)
5) I am buying a fire extinguisher for those inevitable "spoiler fires" that lead to "spoiler BBQ", due to air friction from high speed runs!

VTY,
Joe

Looks great Joe, well done!

Another vote for painting your bumperettes silver, IMHO it really helps update the look of the car.

Looks great!, Was it a factory spoiler or a fiberglass one?

Hi Matt,

Its a factory spoiler I bought from another Rennlister. I had that one painted and when it was done, I took off my OEM one (black) and replaced it with the silver painted one.

I am with Brent, delete bumperettes if you can and then add the EURO plate custom made to match your local plate! Like this:
