zactek Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hey guys.. Ive been following the progress of the 2" Extended spoilers that STILL(?!?!) have not been done for ya, and have decided to take it on and get you going.. i am building these off pics of other extended spoiler that didnt happen, so thats what it will be... i will be offering the spoilers in 2 versions... without a brake light- for you to customize as desired - 285.00 with a led 3rd brake light in either a 4.5"(30leds) version - 335.00, or a 12"(100leds) version - 365.00 these are for fiberglass three piece spoilers without antenna, or rear wiper provisions.... they will mount to stock locations. carbon fiber versions will become available at a later date.. pm for more info 125.00 deposit(please specify brake light option you want)... remaining balance due upon completion + shipping(aprox 55 depending on where ya live) deposits can be paypal'd to: worxcustoms@gmail.com parts will take approx 2-3 weeks. after 6 deposits get paid.. parts will be shipping starting with 1st to deposit any questions just ask like usual! josh http://lh6.ggpht.com/worxcustoms/SOqnEIgHD4I/AAAAAAAAA0o/q4yTyefhyo4/finalproto5.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/worxcustoms/SOqnD5AwFWI/AAAAAAAAA0g/V_lFpNd6_Io/finalproto4.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/worxcustoms/SOqnDiO83rI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/0BV_2VF1-Ws/finalproto3.jpg http://lh3.ggpht.com/worxcustoms/SOqoLze1ObI/AAAAAAAAA04/wm4uY8QldQE/finalproto7.jpg these are what its gonna look like.. i have reshaped the curve on the rear from the first proto pics. this is a bit more curved along the rear.. note: i will finish filling in the wiper area and antenna before the mold is made.. Dammit, I can't see the pics!! I'm dying over here :hmm3grin2orange: Zack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 copy/paste to your browser address bar. I kinda liked it the way it was, the upward tilt killed it for me. I prefer the "dragster rear deck" where it extends back further than stock, but stays flat and level with the body lines. I might not dislike it if I saw it in person or all one color. You'll never please us all, so don't bother trying Pick a design that you think will sell, and ignore the rest of them LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Copy and paste what? The red X's?? Zack fixed, He re-hosted them elsewhere... Often, if you right click the red X's and copy/paste the address that comes up, that will work. Sometimes you'll also find a type-o in the address so you jsut copy/past and correct the address.

zactek Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Ok, I finally saw the pics and I like...... I still think the back edge could have more of a curve (if you look at it in profile it still looks a little like a wedge [<] instead of a curve [c] that wouldn't match the curvature on the bottom of the 88-89 front air dam), BUT it just might look that way because of the pic quality AND because it's in primer. If you decide to go this route, I'd still be interested......... Just make sure that the 3 pieces would align, looks like your hatch is a little off if you're using that for the proto..... Looks great tho, the best I've seen so far :hmm3grin2orange: AND possibly attainable!! Zack Edited October 7, 2008 by zactek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-hanson Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) hey guys.. i havent gotten any deposits for the spoiler, so i havent been doing much with it. ive been working on the drift bumper and a few other projects instead.. if there is still interest going on here and a small group that can toss deposits, ill get going on em... looks like there are a handful that could get this going... if you are interested please post up and ill get a new list going.. josh ps- the black starion in pics isnt mine.. its a car i found from a japanese site that i liked... coulnt get any info on it though, so i dunno... im gonna be putting some 18x10, and 9 mustang bullitt style rims on as soon as its cold up here and need to switch my stang to snow tires.. i think that should look pretty close and the stang stuff is obviously avail in a variety of styles and offsets and lips etc...

silverarrow89 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Josh, My body work begins in January/February and I'm thinking this would clean up the rear of my car, my 3 piece rear spoiler is shot to hell now, so I would need a new one anyway, before work could begin. For those going this direction, what type of antenna(s) are/is best option(s)? Shark or glass mount? Any details on which model of either to get? Do you have to widen the hole for the washer? Josh, 2 things: 1. Can you post the link for the LED brake lights you're going to be offering? 2. Add a small list on your first post with those names below who are "seriously" interested in this GP, once the list gets to 10, make the $125 due no later than 10 days after list is complete, Kelly kind of does the same and it seems to work pretty well. Who ever pays first gets first product. By my count we need 4 more for the FG version to become reality. For those names I listed, can you please confirm to Josh if you are still in or will you take a pass. starquestjoe dan zaktec hdam cali silverarrow89 Sorry to seem like I'm pushing, but the more I look at the pics the more I like it. sa89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverarrow89 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Got it, although I am confused on the 3rd brake light. Do I need to tell you which model lamp I am buying and you'll build it to spec so all I need to do it clip it in? Can I ask, why not just offer it with an LED 3rd brake light, you choose the style, or without? How do I know the LED I choose will work with the angle of the spoiler, area behind, etc.? Just want clarification. I would not ask if I was not interested, very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it's now $80 or you raised the price of the spoiler...And what about the $125 deposit? It has to be paid in full now? I'm interested in the FRP spoiler with no brakelight. I'm interested but you still hasn't adressed the issue with the rear of the spoiler (look at my last post on page 2) It seems like we have another case of "You won't make them until it's completely paid for, and nobody wants to pay until they see a final product" Zack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
