    Photos for Maverick Man of custom end caps for big bumper Mavericks to work with Grabber spoiler....


    If Maverick Man produces those to go along with his other products, I'll order spoiler to install on my car!

    I know it isn't much help to you, but there is a company out there that makes the ducktail spoiler for big bumper cars.
    Maybe someone will step in with a name...
    There was a thread on it in the past with pics and company name.
    Good luck
    Dave

    AK used to carry it but I doubt you can get one now. I saw one once at a Roundup.

    The big numper cars use longer endcaps,they will fit but with a big gap.

    On of our members who has an awesome Maverick told me that he modified the rear Grabber extension by combining the small bumper one with a big bumper one. He said it wasn't that hard, and he was very happy with the results (you should see his car, it's really nice). Anyway he said it could be done fairly easy, so perhaps that's the ticket to making a set to utilize for a pattern. Again, would sure like to see a big bumper spoiler kit become available, so keep trying....

    That would be cool. I guess I need to inspec a small bumper car closely just to compaire the difference in the two for my knowledge. At glance I thought they were the same but just miner changes. That is one of those small changes I didn't pick up on.

    Hey RadMav, thanks for jumping in. Perhaps you could explain (and encourage) to Maverick Man what you went through in making the conversion for those big bumper end caps. Again, it would open up a lot of sales for Maverick Man, there are a lot of us out there with big bumper cars!

    Thanks again RadMav, and perhaps you could post a pic showing the back of your car with the Grabber spoiler. That car is really something...
