    Compliments of the Valet..... I am looking for a new or used front spoiler for my 1991 TR. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks, Jay

    Norwood Performance, a site sponsor here sold front spoilers made of carbon fiber. You might want to get them a call.

    They are repairable if it hasnt been obliterated, being that they are fiberglass. If you are getting paid for it, you can buy it from a ferrari dealer. If you are left to deal with it yourself, see about getting it fixed. BTW, why the heck would you let a valet touch your car?

    +1. They are fixable. I had this chunk taken out by a raccoon who didn't make it across the road :eek: . Made a hell of a mess too....

    Also, why let a valet drive your TR?? Just park it where you want and throw the valet $10 to keep an eye on it.

    They are repairable but it depends how much damage. I recently bought mine from the F dealer. I get a parts discount of 20-25 percent. Spoiler cost me $1,370.00 and the plus side was that I picked the spoiler up at Ferrari of North America (which I am not too far from). Avoided delivery and freight charges. First spoiler I bought was a after market spoiler sold by the dealer. Fit was great but the mount points did not line up and I was not in the mood to modify the spoiler mounts and re-glass to the spoiler.

    Robbie-You have deep pockets . Paying 1300.00 for a piece of fiberglass that will get damaged several more times during the ownership period of your car is certainly a luxury I cant afford. Unlesss most of it is missing, it is definitely worth repairing.

    Mine was pretty bad.. Its was broken in two and the whole rt corner was missing. I have had it on for a while and have avoided damaging it. I think most of the damage occurs going in and out of parking lots and driveways. I just try avoiding doing that or make sure where ever I go with the car the entrance and exit are pretty flat. No deep pockets here my man. I am winging it.. Just thought the labor involved to modify the aftermarket spoiler would have been excessive. I figured with the amount of time it would have taken I could generate money with those hours.

    I noticed that a piece or chunk was loose and I removed it after Mr. Valet had his way. BTW: "I am completely against Valet and would sooner park in a red zone and get a $60 parking ticket. Needless to say, I was on a date and the there were no options, mainly because the valets park the cars on the street instead of the parking lot!!!! I can't stand Valet.

    So, it looks like this little piece of fiberglass has been repaired several times and it is too far gone. I found one at Orange County Ferrari for $850. I have heard of prices up to the $1500 figure though. I might have to bite the bullet

    Those people are a nightmare. I purchased a TR rear window, they sent me the wrong one, gave me all kinds of attitude when I called to complain, and then refused to credit my return. Thank goodness for AMEX.

    I've got the same deal going. When I get a breather from all of my other responsibilities, I'll take a trip to West Marine, and get some fiberglass repair supplies. I figure $20 - $30 plus a lot of sanding should do it. It will give me a chance to detail a bunch of parts in there when the spoiler is off.
