BTW I am waiting for my wide body to arrive here on the east coast and I have one question for you since your has to have had some hairy contact situations and I was wondering what you used to connect the fiberglass pieces together.I don't have air and my car will more than likely be the lowest wide body in the US and I'm a little concerned that a rouge bump hitting the side skirt would push up on the fender breaking the skirt fender and both bumpers if i use hardened fasteners anywhere except for attachment to the body
same here. i have always had a thing for the evolution co signature 3pc spoiler. this is similar but 1pc.

one time my jack slipped and the car came down pretty hard and the sideskirt was resting on the jack. it flexes A LOT. it only cracked a little bit where it hit the jack. the paint chipped on the side where it flexed but the damage was minimal for what happened. vertex quality really is top notch and i dont think you will have any issues. but if you hit the side skirt even harder than what happened to me, i really dont think its going to have a ripple effect and damage your fenders or bumpers.

I really wish i could keep up with yahoo auctions, the stuff you're finding is beyond awesome. I can't wait to see it all done and watch it on a track!

I am just collecting parts right now for the rebuild, which is getting expensive quickly. I will probably get started on it early next year. I recently made a deal to buy my buddy's chromed gt42r and manifold.

I've seen that spoiler before, that's the Abflug version 2 spoiler. It's a two piece, this one sits on the trunk as a lip spoiler and the there is a pedestal spoiler with central mounts as well,

Nope it's definitely not AB Flug. Look at the angles at the sides, plus the width from back to front:

Did you ever test fit that wing everyone is trying to guess onto your car. I'm curious as to how it fit and what it looked like.

Might have to call dibs for if you sell it
