    I know some people don't like the unlimited products hoods but has anyone had any experience with their grabber style spoilers? I can't seem to find an original. Thanks

    i bought a spoiler from them and i found many week spots. You will have to modify the underside of the center section also. Not sure what i paid in the end, i beleive it was 150 + 75 in shipping. Not bad if you can do good fiberglass\bondo work

    Did everything line up other than that? Did the end product look factory? Thanks

    From what I have read over the years, you will not be happy with anything except a factory set-up.

    I bought the center section, and returned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Close examination: they are certainly made from a "real" Maverick Grabber lip spoiler. But, it seems that over the years, they lost the formula of how to actually make it. After contacting them. I got the impression that there isn't anyone still working there that actually knows what it's supposed to look like. I sent them numerous photos & diagrams, but never got a reply. As a previous post stated, "It takes a LOT of sanding to get it to look right". :whew:
    The end-pieces appear to satisfactory, though.

    I'm going to Mexico in November. My novia lives there (We're getting married in Jalisco). I will look them up, too.

    Poor quality parts, they'll rape you on shipping, and non-existent customer service.
    Just a rude, low quality group of people.
