Trunk/Spoiler ideas

Hey everyone, I'm shaving my trunk lock, and also have a spare trunk with wing, I was wondering does anyone have any cool ideas to mod the factory wing or trunk that I could do so that it looks cooler and stands out, let me know, I'm open to anything.
 


Not much you can do with the stock one unless you want to paint it another color or add racing stripes. Would suggest using hose gaskets to lift it off the trunk lid before it starts to rust under there. Here are some other options:

Personally I'm particular to Gen I :cool:

yeah those are nice spoilers but all my money is going to my final audio system, so I was trying to figure a way to alter or hack or do whatever I could to make the factory stuff look cooler

You cant really make the factory stuff look "cooler" for say...you can make it look different though.

Examples, I have seen some mount a 3rd brake light, such as an LED light bar inside the spoiler before and have it flush mounted.

I have also seen some take the stock spoiler and put it on spacers, and elevating the spoiler off the trunk lid...like with 3-4" hollow poles/rods. :th_scratchhead: don't know about the last one honestly. Its different for sure.

~F~
 
yeah I thought about the third brake light ideas, which they still might be a good possibility, has anyone ever tried just going without the spoiler? or does it look too weird?
 


Sure...the GP SE's had no spoilers from the get go...then I think GM started cleaning house, and started adding them onto that model as well as a GT/GTP front bumper cover. The rear bumper and lower side skirts stayed off though.

I think our cars look really wrong with no spoiler on them. Just ugly IMO.

~F~
 
shave the spoiler! i'd maybe have it photoshopped first!

maybe modify a lip spoiler, after shaving it! :th_sign-ohsnap:
 
I am half way looking for another spoiler like mine so I can make it taller, another 3 inches would make it look more like a NASCAR spoiler...
 
our cars look horrible with out the spoiler lmao....... i didnt know anything about these cars or what i wanted when i bought my car but if it didnt have the spoiler i prob wouldnt even have looked at it lol
 


This is the only GP I've ever seen with a modified stock spoiler:

As for no spoiler, I always hated it because I only saw it on 4 door SEs and didn't like the looks of those cars. My car actually sat without one for a bit and it actually grew on me. The Limited Edition spoiler is my favorite and I don't plan on running without a spoiler, but here is a couple pics while it was in storage after I sold my SLP Gen 1.

Don't worry, like it says that is from over a year ago when I was storing it in a warehouse after I sold the SLP and was installing my new wheels. I'll be getting another LE spoiler when I get the chance.
 


yeah that doesnt look too horrible but it, i think it looks different a lil more on the not good side.

Well smoothing the spoiler into the trunk is going to be a little too much, cause after looking at gaps and stuff, it's gonna be too much to just bondo the gaps and everything.

Sooo back to square one with the ideas. It doesnt look too bad without the spoiler, does anybody know how to do the raised stock spoiler like that yellow GP in the pics above?
 
The raised stock spoiler was just pedestals made/modified to fit as far as I know. The only pre-fit pedestals that would just bolt on are by AEDCentral and I'm sure you could buy a new spoiler for a little more than them.

I doubt I will ever actually go no spoiler myself. If I ever have the money I might have different "modes" for the GP. Swap wheels, trunks, etc. for different events or moods. Probably not.

As for other ideas there are SLP knock-off spoilers that are out now, could always add rams to the bottom so it sits flush and raises at speed ala Bugatti Veyron :), etc.

Definately wouldn't mold the stocker or any spoiler to the trunk.
 
Hey did that Special Edition Spoiler fit to your factory spoilet screwholes or did you hafta drill/plug the pre-existing ones on your trunk lid? That thing looks friggin' nice, it's exactly the kinda thing I've been lookin' for (again, because there's not a lot out there for a factory fit to our cars)
