Default Thining about adding turbo spoiler? Weight?

Thinking about adding a fiberglass aftermarket turbo spoiler to my c4s. However, I am trying to keep it as light as possible...but I really like the look of the spoiler...

Anyone know the weight of one of the turbo look fiberglass spoilers or an approximate weight? The decklid stays as well I presume??

thanks
Greg

Greg,

The turbo tail includes the decklid as one piece. The funny thing is the decklid piece is only a lid on the bottom of the tail that resumbles the decklid, visually it does look like the tail is attached onto a decklid, but in reality it is not. I never had a chance to measure my tail, but I would say it is at least 10 lb lighter.

Greg,

Aftermarket spoilers come in two styles: attach to your existing decklid, or a complete replacement. See MA Shaw, a Rennlist sponsor, as an example.
