Sumo Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 What kind of spoiler is this, do they still sell this type of rear spoiler? http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQDeAp0V3A7XTko*RJR7C6qVWSn!FCf0T8yysaCeA4DK2WUbaNhwl4hLzZ0kA2RkibXUvRn*rFXOrewZJeIfEmGnkBWG1SP6666do!UOh*uRfBhddW44IA/DSC01104.jpg?dc=4675412601863900201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Looks to be a 3 piece rear spoiler. Don`t know any companies still making them, but you can still find them. Here`s on on ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33638&item=2405974654&rd=1 I wish John Washington would make these !

Guest Look A Z Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I have a spoiler like that on the car I am about to get. I did not know it was hard to find, then that means I am just going to keep it on the car now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 If you look closer at the red spoiler, it swoops down closer to the fuel door than the E-bay one. It's a big difference if you look at it closer. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I think it`s the same one, but has been molded on to eliminate the gaps and lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Ebay sucks! hell they darn near pay retail for used part now days. Add shipping and they do! By the way I really liked the rear spoiler in the picture Sumo posted, wish I could find one that nice. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I pulled the 3 piece spoiler from an early 80's camaro in the junkyard for $40. with some modification I'm going to make it fit my 240. Could be made to look quite a bit like the one pictured in the above post. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I pulled the 3 piece spoiler from an early 80's camaro in the junkyard for $40. with some modification I'm going to make it fit my 240. Could be made to look quite a bit like the one pictured in the above post. Mike That's too funny, because I pulled the SAME one from a 70's Camaro in hopes that I would eventually make it fit the 240Z as well I think it can be done, although I really DON'T like the fact that they are made of plastic--may be easier to cut, but I like the idea of fiberglass through & through. What will you do about the protruding metal screws for fittment purposes? Just pull them out or cut them off? Also, the Camaro unit is too wide and slightly curved (I think?)--how are you going to handle this? I ask because I'm in the same boat. I like the idea of the Camaro unit because it sticks up a good ways and will look quite the part once it is fitted. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I pulled out the metal studs by tightening down two nuts on them, and then backing them out. I had considered using the side pieces in their original way, coming down the side of the car, but after much measuring and head scratching, I've decided to trim them down to use as flat endcaps on the spoiler. I'm only going to be covering the width of the rear hatch now, with no overhang onto the rear fenders at all. (ala Shelby Daytona Coupe) The angle should be just slightly under 45 degrees, and although it will create a lot of drag, it should counteract the lifting effect of the Z's rear hatch pretty well. Should have it roughed out this weekend, will try to post pics when I have anything worth showing. Also, I think if you look around, many of the camaro spoilers are made of fiberglass instead of plastic. Mine is definetly fiberglass, as it tends to shear away into fiberous splinters when you try cutting it to quickly. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I had that 3 piece rear spoiler on my Z before I painted it. I think it is still at the body shop. If some one wants to pay shipping I will send it to them 20$ + shipping I dont know if it is in the best of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
