Default Spoiler question.

Okay, so I (like many others) would practically kill for a Damd Lover Soul wing. The problem is, they just don't exist. There were rumors of a knockoff being created, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. So, here's my question (don't shoot me!)

The spoiler off of the Monte Carlo is remarkably similar to the design of the Lover Soul. They can be had off of ebay quite easily. Does anyone know the dimensions of it off hand, and f it'd work on the box?

Obviously it will need some modification, but still, it certainly appears to be a viable solution.

Here's the Lover Soul if you don't know it.

And the Monte Carlo rear end.


So, am I completely crazy, or might this work?

i couldn't tell ya.
i would think anyone thats good with fiberglass could make it work.
how much is the monte wing?
i got my wing off ebay, but i dont know i would recomend the guy i got it from. it can from japan and the guy did a crapy finishing job befor the primer and i had to have my local guy stip it all the way down and do a full now coat of resin and then reprimer befor painting. but over all it turned out very well.

Theoretically... if it was that easy though, don't you think more people would have it?

About the monte carlo spoiler... I dont think it would work, or be worth it to try and use it to make the damd wing. Its too different. Too skinny... Might as well just fab the whole thing from scratch.
JMHO :D

I have never seen a damd wing besides the first pic in this thread.
If someone made a knock off here in the states, I think they would make a killing ;)

I don't think the monte carlo spoiler would work very well. Why not get a cheap one off ebay and use that to try and make a Damd replica.

ok, I see your wing.
No offese... but thats not quite it. Looks good and all....

But it's not even in the same ballpark as the damd wing.

The damd spoiler is a lot shorter, and it looks like it rises at a steeper angle.

i know ist not the even close to the same, i wasn't tring to say it was.

im just saying i got mine from japan, and the shipping wasn't long.

hyperwhitetc said "people order parts from japan all the time. it only takes a long time getting here"

and i said "i ordered mine from japan and it only took like under 2 weeks.

talking about the shipping time, not the type of wing.
