    So, I'm in need of an SS chin spoiler. Any suggestions? I was thinking about trying to rebuild the old one (I have fiberglass experience from working on surfboards), but I think one end of it is pretty much FUBAR.

    Looking for options. I'd like to have something original, but I'm not opposed to having an excuse to get something dressy as well, like a carbon piece.

    Haha...no, but the fasteners look almost like wood screws!

    I guess 18+ years of speed and dips finally won. We weren't even going that fast! Well, relatively, anyway. :)

    I was just relieved to find out that the huge BUMPBOOM! was not mechanical!!

    Take it to a good body shop, they should be able to fix it.

    How bad is it?

    Ah, it's not toooo ugly...considering it got squashed at 80 MPH, I would have assumed far worse!

    I'm taking her in probably Friday to get a few little cosmetic things massaged over the weekend. I'll see what the guy thinks. I wouldn't mind finding a backup or two anyway, though. These things take a lot of abuse :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if a body shop can fix it...a good body guy can restore some pretty messed up fiberglass...stuff I would never have thought was repairable.

    Jesse's Rod Shop in Chesapeake has done some great custom fiberglass work for me.

    Have you tried Ferrari?! They had one 2 years ago when I destroyed mine. It was $900 unpainted as I recall.
