I didn't make it "cool" I made it "mine"
Lost track of what I've done (need to make a list) and how much I've spent.
I added the spoiler first, this was after the repaint.
Engine added in 1993
Hood airbrushed in 1994
Wheels, Tint, etc along the line lol

I do want to get the stainless steel inserts for the bumpers, I think they will complement the wheels nicely.

Eckler is the higher priced option.
ACI is probably the next.
ToledoPro may be the best -- if they still offer this wing.
Vanacor's used to make them but they are long gone.
I believe all the companies listed make quality parts.
One final piece of info...The Greenwood costs significantly more...but includes a support bar that protrudes down to the inner crash bumper. Probably harder to install. There WAS one of these wings for sale in the parts forum for a very long time. It may never have sold....if you want to go looking. BTW...I posted in that thread (if that helps to find it.)

There are four companies that make that spoiler. It's not a Greenwood because you'd see "Greenwood" imprinted on the ends of the wing.

That was the thread were the argument was on the originality of the piece I think.
Greenwood makes great parts. I am still not sure on taking it off or not, I guess I will decide at paint time. There will be some holes that will need to be dealt with if I take it off.

It was going to cost 6000 dollars to repaint a car not worth a lot more than that, so I gave it my best effort, and am happy with it. I have a full set of youtube videos on doing the work.

Please tell me how to find your youtube videos, I am in a similar situation.

IMO, everyone does what they feel is cool.. and make the car "theirs". One that thinks one thing is cool to one person may not be to the next. I've always felt that the person takes the car and make it ,"mine" and that's what seperates the cars from each other.
How many 84's do you see like this?... for me this is what I think is cool but for others they may think otherwise. Not my problem..my car my rules!..Love it or hate it I don't care. Bottom line is all of us make the car "unique" for us..not for others.
