    1999 OEM Combat Spoiler

    I'm changing to a 1996 stealth spoiler, so this is available.





    This spoiler needs some body work. There are some cracks in the pedalstals, but any reasonably competent body shape should be able to fix them. The main span is aluminum since it is stock and is in perfect shape.

    I can get closer pics of the areas that need repair if necessary.

    $550 + shipping. Shipping won't be super cheap because the box is huge, but I won't mark it up at all and it will be packed well.

    My paypal is cbehnken@hotmail.com. I will entertain offers, but no dibs

    If that doesn't prove how much downforce the 99 wing actually makes...not sure what would, lol.

    It was not correctly installed either. The side uprights should be mounted out further, to the edges of the hatch.

    Can't see how the main bar is going to grow any wider, lol.

    If you mount it wrong, so it looks like this...

    \----------/

    Instead of like this....

    |-----------|

    That would explain why it's all busted up, and it wouldn't require the cross piece to magically grow wider.

    Or you could just attribute it to phantom downforce. Your choice...

    You mounted your wing wrong, and because of that, it cracked. Don't get pissy with me for pointing our your mistake.

    For anyone who's curious, this is what it SHOULD look like.

    You'll notice it's right at the edge of the hatch, just like Milkman said.

    I didn't mount it at all. I bought the car this way 5 years ago.

    Get out of my for sale thread if you aren't buying.

    I don't care who mounted it. YOU are trying to get $550 (+ shipping) for someone's fuck-up on the basis that it's 'easily fixed'. Bullshit.

    Anyone who buys this broke-ass wing is going to have a minimum of $750 into it.

    Shame on me for bringing that to light.

    Lol I really don't give a crap if this sells or not. If someone wants to make an offer that's fine. After dealing with an ass like you I would just about rather throw it in the dumpster.

    If it takes you 750 to fix this then you not going to the right shop.

    I took good pictures and gave an honest description. It isn't like I used the pics from 10 feet away and left it at that.

    Not sure when it became acceptable to come into a sale thread and bash the parts and the seller. I wouldn't come into your threads and do that.
