Molded Wald Spoiler Owners
I have a Wald trunk spoiler and I've been to three paint and body shops so far about getting it molded, painted, and installed. One of the shops warned me that if they mold it to the trunk, it may crack after "some time" later. The other two shops said they won't even take the job for that very reason. Have any owners heard this before or had any trouble with their molded Wald spoilers?
Thanks.
Thanks.

actually 900 is not that bad
if they know what they are doing, it shouldn't crack
it took my shop two days to do it, but I know it normally takes a little longer
my guy happened to be free that week so I had him work on it two days straight non-stop
I know I got a price quote for around 650~1200 from four different shop
but I ended up getting an amazing deal hehehe

with molding you always have a possibility of it cracking because it is bondo or fiberglass.a THIN layer of bondo or fiberglass so everything would be even and smooth...any body shop guy would know that...i know guys that do body work...ive known people who molded their kits to the body itself and had it crack through time because of vibration and bumps...but as far as the trunk area i think it wouldnt be as bad because it's high up on the car and wind flows right over top of it...

^slamming your trunk when closing can definitely cause cracking in the long run
but then it's cool now because it goes down slowly (as if it is automatic) due to extra weight lol
