    From what Dave is saying, yes you will need to go with small bumpers.

    I am glad to hear that the possibility is still alive!

    Got on here looking for a wing. Love the way this looks and would love to buy one.

    Things change. And this may not happen, sadly. At least not for quite a while.

    I have so much going on that I am not sure I will have the time to get the three pieces the way I want them and get them off to have a mold made.

    Add to that the person I was talking with about making them for me I am starting to doubt if he can actually do what I want the way I want it done. I did find another guy more local to me, be he says to expect the 3 pieces to run around $800! I know that isn't happening with most all of you here on this forum.

    So for now I am going to step back on that part of my project. I will continue to keep moving forward with the rest of it. At a later date I will circle back and see what I can do at that time.

    I just now saw this thread, and just want to say that I think it looks pretty f-ing cool, especially with the Shelby taillight panel.

    Just found this myself.That is a good looking spoiler.I personally like the center releaf.The releaf breaks up the long spread across the trunk.Have you found any info on getting the mold made or who to talk to.

    This doesn't mean I won't finish it. It just means for now I am shelving it to focus on getting my car done. Once that happens, I am sure I will get back to this as I really like the look.

    Only so many hours in the day and so many dollars to spend!

    The spoiler and your vision are awesome!
    If it's ever back on I would be interested also, pretty much in the same price range as everyone else. I know when I start building my car I have always planned on the Shelby tail lights and this spoiler looks great with that panel! Awesome work!

    I'd be more in the rang of like 175-250 depending on quality.
