Who makes the best 1970 factory rear spoiler reproduction available?
I am getting ready to order a new trunk lid and spoiler for my 70 cutlass, I have found several reproduction spoilers that claim to be just as good as the factory one. Who has bought what brand and were you happy with it?

Thanks for the replies, I will order one soon, may or may not end up using it since I don't know if the supreme body can pull off the spoiler look without being too gaudy, but worst case, I can sell the spoiler to someone else.

This only my opinion, but----Look before you Leap. Look around at Supremes or even Convertibles that have spoilers installed. I say this for several reasons
#1 If you mount and DON'T like it, you're stuck with a deck lid that needs to be refinished, and it will need it on top and bottom.
#2 The angle of the Supreme trunk lid is different than that of a hardtop; not a whole lot, but it will give the spoiler a slightly different angle.
#3 If you do go with installing one, look around for a GM piece. They are out there and might require some prep to get ready---I say this because if you DON"T end up liking it, the GM piece might be easier to sell than a used reproduction.
My comments are NOT intended to offend anyone that has a Supreme or Convertible with a wing, or anyone that has an aftermarket one. This is only MY opinion, and you know the old saying about opinions.

I had one on my Supreme way back when. Didn't like the look anymore so it came off.

1972 Cutlass Spoiler Installation
Just received my OPGI Spoiler for my 1972 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe (442 options) and it has NO template! Anyone know where I can get one? Or have the correct measurements? Thank you
