Ok so i got pissed off yesterday so i decided to work on my car so i'd remain sane. I went to the yard and picked up something i've been wanting for quite a while now.
arr test fit .. ! looks like it'll work!

So i carefully aligned it and drilled all 9 holes THAT was nerve racking! but it looks good so far!

Some minor adjustments and it goes on the car, goodbye luggage rack :puke:
On the car..

whatya think? yea its slighly a diff color but its off a fuckin dodge shadow , cant be too picky.

It works. I like it better then the OEM one, of course I've never seen how one of those fits close up.

It fits pretty damn good , only thing i want to do is get some kind of material thats like a thin foam to put under it so it fills the small gaps because of the slight differences in lines. they are hardly noticeable unless you try to look between the decklid and the spoiler real close.

To me, the Shadow spoiler is the best looking non-stock spoiler you can put on a Fiero, with the possible exception of the IMSA spoiler. It even *looks* like an IMSA spoiler, except that it won't block your rear vision (or, unfortunately, the headlights of the car behind you.)

Nice job! :thumbleft:

I've got that same style spoiler on my bastard blend silver 85se. With its primered 87 coupe rear bumper, white rear lid, off white Dodge spoiler, 88 GT black lace wheels and a non-sunroof gold roof panel, the spoiler is the best looking part of the car. But what the hell, its got 150 horsepower of v8 rumble

those are yoru new rims huh? You need wheels spacers or something.

I know HMS offers widetrack rear suspension setups to push the wheels out a little more so they don't look so goofy in lambo/ferrari replicas, maybe you could contact them and see if it would do the trick.

No, I haven't got new rims for it yet. Those are the rims and tires I bought for it last year before it was a widebody. I do have a set of 15" wheels (15x8, 15x10), but no tires available that don't look like truck tires.

New rims and tires are going to cost a fortune. I hope I can afford custom wheels so I don't need spacers/adapters. Rear wheels will be 12", fronts will be 9 or 10". Anyone want to loan (when I say loan, I mean give) me $5,000?

BTW, those wheels are tires are for sale. TSW Kyalami (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direc ... 8&bp=5-100) 17x8 35mm offset on all 4. 225/45 front tires, 245/45 rear Falken Azenis Sport tires with about 5k miles on them (mostly put on to and from Wheatstock last year).
