The material is .125 Aluminum as are the brackets that it mounts to the body. I had it powdwer coated to match the texture of the spoiler. Then used screws and a captive fastner to attache the spilter to the lower lip of the spoiler at all the weak points. Two years ago I hit a opposum at 45 mph and did no damage to the car the critter was not so lucky.

Got her buttoned back up today.
Pic of splash guard with 3/4 inch pipe insulation cut along axis serves as new seal.
Spoiler is now solid, several components of grill replaced, also replaced alternator hose with Roger's aftermarket hose (which looks better then the original).
Why there is a ping pong ball under the car, I have no idea.

its Illegal to have red splash pans,
if you must go red ,
please add some color to the bottom of the door sills , A quick spray on the back of the numbers will suffice.
then you tell everyone that you have the faster model because the door sill numbers are Red.

Curbs are the enemy of S spoilers, which is why I don't have a 928 with one. There have been at least 20 times where I would have snapped one off. Be really careful when parking with one.
BTW nice fab work
I used model airplane hinges in my A/C where the center flap was broken and I had to use a $5 metal T from the home depot to mount a front license plate because of a ticket....
Anyway, the pop rivet engineering of the 928 crowd is always amazing and always makes the original part stronger.
