    I have a factory grabber spoiler for $600 shipped if you still need one. FYI the aftermarket ones do not fit correctly, they are fairly poor quality. The only good aftermarket option is the maverick man carbon but they are currently out of stock and can be pricey.

    The aftermarket options are horrible, the fit is very poor. Only decent one is maverick man carbon.

    I have seen/read good things about the rear spoiler from Mexico. He also makes a hood scoop and other fiberglass parts.

    I have talked to several people who have bought the spoiler from him, the quality is not consistent. Some of them fit very well, others I wouldnt even bother putting it on a car. His hood scoop does seem good quality though.

    Unfortunately I can’t upload a video on here but you can seen in the screen shot how the lines are very wavy and not straight the end caps are the same. 4E547508-882D-463A-8FB3-4BE801570C10.jpeg

    There's no replacement for displacement.

    GO FOR THE 347 !! LOTSA POWER EASY FIT .. We built 347's , 331's and a 408 Windsore .. The 347 ran in the elevens with a good cam and fuel injection .. Just my humble opinion !
