grabber spoiler

so if i decided to start making and producing grabber spoilers and quarter extensions out of sheet metal and out of fiberglass would anyone be intersted in buying?

 

seems like a pretty good idea but I think the main thing would be what could you sell them for. I am thinking you would have more time tied up in them than what you could get for them.

 

ah im not worried about that. i enjoy building things. also i wouldnt charge a whole butt load either. whats the point in charging someone a **** load of money for something that you enjoy making and only takes a few hours of your time. ill never understand 100,000 bucks in labor for a car that only sells for 20,000. anyway im gettin of subject. so what would be a fair price to pay for eaither a metal or a fiberglass version of both?

 

seems that around 250.00 is what they are going for ,,,

 

seems expensive. ill beat that price. let me get some prototypes made up and post some pics

 

I'd be interested in a metal one.

 

While we're here ... would it be more work to make one that was an inch or so taller? Wonder if that would interest anyone (besides me )?

 

I have often thought that the rear spoiler is not tall enough and have toyed with the idea of putting a 69 Z28 spoiler spoiler on, I am sure it would take some alterations to make it fit, I also have thought (and have seen) a spoiler from a 79 Camaro with the pieces that bolt to the sides at rear quarter and it looks good.

But what I really want is one of the metal spoilers with the rods that support it like on a pro stocker car.

As far as making and selling spoilers it is a tough market and crowd to sell too and unless quality is good and price is cheap you will be doing it for just the fun of doing it.

 

I like the Trans Am one that sorta wraps the corners. I seen two styles, the wrap one and a sorta pointed one.

I am thinking a metal one about two inches taller and no straight edges or corners.

 

Unless they are cheaper than the originals, i just dont see the point. There are plenty of spoilers still out there but noone wants to pay the price.

Yes, make a taller one.

 

I have been considering how to mod my spoiler to make it a little taller.

Z28/Trans AM/etc. are fine too and thats based on individual taste, but do require some fitting and fabbing (I assume).

A nice NEW quality, bolt on, 1 inch taller, grabber style spoiler (with matching extensions of course) would easily pry 200+ bucks out of my wallet.

I have to say, good used ones ARE NOT getting $250 these days. Maybe here and there a seller gets hooked up with a motivated buyer, but used part prices are down as it's not a sellers market right now. I don't see nearly as many spoilers being put up for sale here or on EBAY in the last year+. People are either holding on to them until pricing rebounds OR supply is running out over all ...

 

I vote taller and steel!! I'm in.

 

maybe some that would look good on 4 doors would be cool if possible

 

Now this idea would be a winner and if you made them for 74 and up cars you would have a hit

 

maverick man was making them for years here out of carbon fiber and fiberglass...may wanna ask him why he stopped making them, there may not be much of a market for them any longer...
