opinion needed for Limey now

NEW PICS OF COMPLETED SORT OF HAVE TO FINISH THE ENDS BACK IN





from back its 3" high plenty tall enough



from the front its only a lil under 2.5" tall



Absolutely no gap between the spoiler and trunk





all in all for just a good warm afternoons work, I think it didn't turn out to bad







I will have to finish the ends in when I get some Fiberglass bro in law might have some sitting in his shop who know's

i agree with citcapp,it looks like a bug deflector for the front of a truck.

Why don't you just say what you really think citcapp?

I can't even tell what it looks like with those pics.
Need more of an overall visage to be able to judge the totality of the visual impact and effect of that device.
My Vista Cruiser has a roof spoiler.

Well being you are asking for opinions, I wouldn't drive my car to a booger picking contest with that on the back of it.

Looks like cheap junk, car looks better without a spoiler period.

The spoiler doesn't look horrible as far as spoilers go, it's style is in good taste.

I like the primer gray and fat tires though. The collonade header panel is also one of my Olds favorites. A car after my own heart.

I don't think it looks that bad. It probably would look better if it was all painted one color.

I am working on that getting it all primer up again but in black this time, all chrome is getting powdered black and then when I get it painted it will be LIME GREEN with black trim !!

Spoilers should never look like an afterthought. Personally I think it looks really cheap and doesn't suit the lines of the vehicle.

Is that even the correct rear bumper for the car???
