    Trying to decide which of these 2 spoilers to use on my 4-door project. With the Cougar tail lights it really needs something added back there. If I use the fox body Mustang one the third brake light will be eliminated.

    To be tottaly honest, I'm not really fond of either of them. But I would go with the low profile one if I had to choose.

    I think you should build a dodge daytona wing.

    Grabber Spoiler

    I think you should use a real Grabber spoiler. Below is Rad Mav's 74 with a Grabber Spoiler. I don't know if this spoiler will work on the 4 door trunk lid? Has anyone ever done this on a 4 door?:huh:

    A stock Grabber spoiler will not work on a 4 door and will not work on '74 and up cars. Radmav's must have been custom or something.

    There were never any factory quarter exetensions, for the spoiler, made for the big bumper cars. I think some aftermarket have been made, but I think most who have the Grabber Spoiler on a big bumper car did some major modifications to earlier extensions and other parts to get a fitted look. I chose the Camaro spoiler because it didn't require changing quarter extensions and bolts on top of the deck lid instead of the corner of the deck lid. It just required cutting some of the spoiler off and shaping it on the ends to fit.

    the car was a 77.... and yes I made the quarter extentions.(y)

    if I were to remake one that style now, I'd just make the whole thing, that way it could be a little taller to fit the lines of the car for a sportier look.
