    I'm in for a fiberglas one as well. I'm also interested in a chin spoiler if you decide to tackle them as well.
    This is sounds like something you don't really have to do but decided to do to help others and maybe make a few dollars. Thanks.
    I'm sure, after looking at your hood, that the final product will be much better than the other ones out there and from the sounds of, for the customer service part of it, all you have to do is answer the phone in a polite voice and be btter than the rest. lol

    ah ic... thanks for input....(y) cuz i do want to hear if this is even going to be worth the time to produce in larger numbers.... but i'll just qoute what he said... don't take my word for it:D ;)


    either way yes i wish they could be cheaper but this is for all 3 peices and i will sell them only if they fit... so yeah if someone wants something cheap by all means get it from one of those other guys... you'll send up spending more and it won't fit. ;)

    Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking, I too have a big bumper Maverick, and would love the spoiler, but I do NOT want to convert mine to small bumpers. Would you consider making the big bumper extentions?

    If you can make all three pieces for $150 and they fit good, that's a fantastic price...I don't care what anybody says. (y)

    Can you paint carbon fiber? :hmmm:

    Edit: wait a minute... alot of exotic sports cars use carbon fiber panels, and they're painted... so I'd say that to be a yes.

    I would definitely be down for a fiberglass version. But it will be a while down the road...I have lots to replace/repair first (y)

    hey i love to make everything however since the factory doesn't make one i probably won't. i need a orginal peice to really be able to make sure the thing fits right... now remember nothing fits as good as stock.. however i would like it to at least fit unlike all the other crap out there. so for now sorry i can't

    lol! i'll pay you later for the shameless plug :D i hope thats what it will come in at... knock on fiberglass.


    lol you answered your own questions :D also keep inmind i have seen some really cool stuff done where you clear coat color on the carbon.. looks really cool and you can match it to your car.

    If the big bumper guys want a spoiler, they should buy your spoiler in fiberglass. It would be pretty easy to take their existing end caps and graft the bottom section to your end caps, and cover them in fiberglass. Fiberglass is pretty easy (and itchy) stuff to work with. Thats what I'd do, anyway. How much shipping do you estimate to the right coast?

    I'd be down for a 'glass spoiler unless I find a NOS one beforehand. 150$ is a damn good price if it fits

    Now that you mention it, you know, you see a lot of NOS Maverick parts on eBay but I don't remember ever seeing an NOS spoiler. Hmmm...maybe there never was any!!!
