My Wald spoiler is finally getting molded and painted along with the rest of the car. I cannot wait for it to be done. The week I put the car in the shop is the first week that the weather is perfect.

I mentioned this in post #89 u can also check my previous threads for the molding process.


I used duraglass just bc its stronger than regular fiberglass and doesnt shrink. Regular fiberglass is known to shrink and contort and becomes very brittle in cold weather (which you shouldn't have a problem since you are in Cali), and Bondo is just garbage all together. If it's placed on any metal its bound to lift and any movement or slight impact it cracks easily.

thanks!! no quarter panel raise by the way, but the shop was 5fifteen autobody in Norcal. If anybody decide to go, ask for Chris and tell him that Johnny sent you. Price will be a little cheaper

if my car came with oem spoiler, would it be a lot of work to take it off, and then put the wald spoiler on?

also, would it look off if my car was obsidian, and had a cf wald trunk spoiler? suggestions are welcome
