SLYDIT, if you are still looking for a boot spoiler, I have a spare one that you can have. I bought it from a guy down in Hamilton, that makes them up, but ended up getting a boot with a factory spoiler on it.

It is just a half shell, so wouldn't have a clue how it gets mounted. Anyway, pics attached if you are interested, PM

Heres my mould sitting on the boot. I havent worked on it for about a year now, I was struggling to get it to wrap to the boot contour well and kinda got a bit demoralized. I might just have to tidy it up and see if the moulded product will just pull into shape when bolted down.

Needs more tail I reckon. I've seen some badass boot lids on the interwebs but the tail is probably a solid 6 inches high and covers about a third of the boot lid. They look absolutely wicked though.

I'm a fan of the more subtle tail... I seem like like women with tight butts 8)

I'd cut it vertically where it lips over the back, the trailing edge, then
thin it, you wouldn't lose any vertical height, but it would "Thin" it
giving it a lighter look.
Just a thought.

Shot bro, glad they got there all good! You can thank Luke (last_resort14) cos he's the one that gave me the black ones so that you could have the tan ones. It's all a cycle, haha.

Tu meke.

Also - I've finally found a hardtop. My car came with the full fitting kit, but I didn't get HT with it when I bought it. So finally got the hard top on and my god its a different car! To look at and to drive. Its heaps quieter inside. It looks better outside. Very very stoked!

Now to get some fixed back seats + roll bar made
