    Derrick you did a very nice job on these, the finish is is so good I may have to scuff it up to get the paint to bite, good job on the packing too. I'll prefit it this weekend and then off to paint.
    You got me down for a set of Valences and if you decide to do small bumpers...put me down for a set of those also.
    I'll post a pic after I get it on the Plum(y)
    Thanks alot for taking the time to do these.:tiphat:

    Dennis this one is goin on the Plum...I'll know the first pass I make in it if it has any functional value and I hope it does, I don't want to put one of those aluminum foils on the back of the car to hold the rear end down...as soon as Derrick makes some more I'm gonna get Katie one.

    I'm gonna use the aluminum channel like you have on your website but make it one long piece giving the fiberglass trunklid some structural integrity with out adding much weight(y)

    Personally I do not think you will notice a difference. But you might :rofl:
    Beside, I like the looks of those "outlaw" type spoilers :D and they are definitely functional.

    It's got to have some effect on the aerodynamics of the car, particularly at the speed it runs....good or bad, I'll know soon enough:p .
    I agree on the Outlaw foils, they look good on alot of cars, I mocked one up for my car and didn't like it...others that looked at it did like it, I'm trying to keep the car as stock appearing as possible.:16suspect :)
