gdfx or spoiler???

Alright guys im out of ideas the car still seems to be missin that last touch and i cant figure it out.. im thinkin it needs a touch on the spoiler because of the rise from the hood up front, but ground effects would sure help i just dont know whats out there these days in that area. but if i decide to go with a spoiler im more than likely goin for the 98+ SS or the freedom designs brickyard spoiler. heres a link of some good pics of the car so you mightbe able to figure out what it is... http://webpages.charter.net/racingtiger03/10.28%20pics/ oh and for the ground effects im strongly debating painting them black if i get em, somethin else i need opinions on there.

With that hood i dotn think a spolier would be necissary, imo i have always liked the clean look of the stock non-SS spolier with the Wings West W-type ground effects. With that hood you're car would be so awsome.

Re: gdfx or spoiler???

pictures are always helpful .. but yeah i was thinkin of the wings west gdfx if any, theyve always been my favorite. the rksport performance spoiler.. is that the one that comes up like 7 inches in a big loop?!?! i dont like that one much i think it ruins the look of the rear of the car... and ive seen it on one in person before too, now ive seen it look good on one occasion but thats cause the guy had the rear solar deflector too and it helped.. thx for the opinions so far.. keep em comin!

It's the same as the freedom design but 2 inches higher. I would never reccomend the big loop spoiler. The big loop spoiler makes baby Jesus weep.

Re: gdfx or spoiler???

yeah, i dunno though i like the lower rise of the freedom designs version. i think that 5" version would be a bit of a hinderance on seein things behind you. im gonna look around and try to dig up some pics of it though.. the car i saw that one on was maroon and it looked good, but my first impression of it was its too big.. maybe i need to look at it again.

Feedom Design spoiler. The ground effects would come next, of course.

its the spoiler on meissenation's car. its like the Zr28 and rksport performance spoilers but is only 3" high instead of 5 or 6... which i think would compliment and flow with my car well seeing as the hood is a 2 1/2" rise

which reminds me.. anyone have hte link to where i can get that spoiler from O_O

Straight from the company.

Here's a "360" walk around of my car with the spoiler.

Re: gdfx or spoiler???

does that thing relaly weigh 75lbs!?!? thats heavier than the entire stock peice, how is that possible? oh well.. i believe thats what im gonna go with, not too expensive either

edit: lol nvm just read how they list it as that much in their shipping charges policy ... anyone else wanna try to sway my mind? .. i only hope the paint will match it should considering i still have a little of the paint left from the car.. hopefully i can get a shope to use that..

Re: gdfx or spoiler???

actually i think both of those ARE mechams. One was a prototype, one was made. And I think the one you posted, Racing, was the prototype that I thought they don't really make anymore. Could be wrong tho.
