    Ron's Corvettes in Fitchburg, the guy is a well renowned and award winning corvette restorer.

    I do know he's worked on other makes and models - fiberglass related. What better person to ask about fiberglass than him ?

    You can also check out Motor, Inc in Marblehead. He does restoration work, truly custom one-off body panels, and design work. He's done a lot with fiberglass.

    I dropped my spoiler of at:
    Walbert Plastics
    35 Tanner St
    Lowell MA 01852-4488
    Ph. 978-453-6853

    I spoke with Don, who owns the place. He had a look and told me that he could fix it and also reinforce it so it will be better then new.
    He called me last night and told me it was done. Went there this morning to pick it up and was very pleased. The cost was $150.00 which I think was very reasonable.
    The only down side is that they dont paint.....
    If you need your spoiler fixed, check them out.

    By the way, it only took two days......

    I did not take any pictures. Didnt even think to.

    If you could imagine, the spoler became detached from the bottom of my car and scraped along the surface of the road for a short distance. The resulting damage was abrasion to the bottom surface the the extent that it actually wore thru the fiberglass spoiler in a couple of places.

    They repaired the damage and re-cemented the mounting features that came detatched from the spoiler. It came back looking like new, reinforced in a few areas better than new. Again, they do not paint, but the painting can be done easily at any body shop.
    This place is an old school hand lay up fiberglass place. I was very happy with the results.

    Instlation was a bit of a pain.... Both front wheels had to be removed along with the inner plastic wheel wells. I do recomend replacing all of the screws and tinnerman clips.

    Thanks
    - Ron

    Check with Phil Jr. at Sansossio's autobody, he has worked some miracles with Carbon Fiber and I know he does fiberglassing as well.

    My M3 was recently involved in a small fender bender and I had him do some extra stuff and AS much as people say it... you can't tell the car was hit... the blend job was PERFECT, paint was an identical match.
