    Well that rules me out. The relief ruins it.

    I REALLY like the way it looks and would buy one set just in case I ever needed it for a car. :cool:

    When nice quality parts are made available for the Maverick / Comet, I try to get them as I want to encourage parts makers and also realize that most of these parts are very limited run and usually if you miss them, you are out of luck.

    Please add me to the list of "Yes! Put me down for one!" people.

    Some people just don't get it :( ... :mad:

    We're talking about a brand new maverick/comet spoiler with the added height many of us desire. If you don't like the relief, it would be easy to fill it in ... sheesh! Besides that, how many spoilers do you see being offered up these days? There all already mounted on fixed up cars!

    Glenn - Thank you for your generosity. Count me in for sure up to $300, maybe a little more.

    Count me in, depending on the price of course. Great work! Sorry people are turning this into an unpleasant experience...

    Glenn,

    Count me in for one if you decide to still offer it to the public. I like what you have done. Looks great.

    It is a great looking project. I like it the way it is. For those who don't like it, they can try to make there own. Keep up the good work. :tiphat:

    I almost dug this thread back up too since most of us would like to see even more parts availability for these cars.

    Hopefully the critics didn't frustrate him too much and scare him off from the idea.

    I am in a little holding pattern on this. I have been doing all the metal work on my car with the new NOS quarters and such. Pretty soon I will mount he trunk lid and end caps and start to do all the final tweaks I need to do to get the spoilers where I am happy. Then I will send them off to have molds made.

    I will keep everyone posted.

    Maybe a 1st generation S-10 might fit a big bumper Maverick with a little help. Don't know until you try
