I may have the ability to copy the spoiler by making some molds but there is a catch. Since they are still out there and the labor it would take to make these, it really isn't worth it. The cost would be too high on the selling side. Figure it would take about $150 for the fiber glass and carbon fiber cloth. Then another $75 for the resin. Add in the vacuum pump cost and all the vacuum fittings and the many hours and hours and hours of labor... Then of course I have to get a smooth finish on it so add a few more hours.
Well maybe since I already have the pump...
The bigger catch would be all the brackets and the rubber trim. I guess I could attach the rubber when I make the mold so it is all one piece. Would folks be willing to fabricate their own mounting hardware and still pay around $500 for it?
I will have to see how long it will take to make one. I really just want to get it on my car so I can paint it and spin the wheels again.
All feedback welcome.

p.s. The importers called to say the container guys in Belgium finally admitted the spoiler and bumper never made it to the container. They are filing a claim. I guess I get my money back at least and know that they are not with Mr. Hoffa in NJ somewhere.
