It would seem now that I am the one that misinterpreted what he said. You are correct

Also, I don't remember if the spoiler was solid or hollow, you might have an issue with having to fill the sides of the spoiler after ya chop it. Just a few things to keep in mind.
Those were along the lines of what I was thinking. I doubt the spoiler is solid since it's fiberglass. That would be a waste of material from a production standpoint. Too much work for me but good luck with whatever you decide. BTW how tall is that one?

WAYYY ahead of you !

My friend had me order the Freedom Design one NOT the LG Motorsports one (both IDENTICAL design, just made of different material) because the FD spoiler is made of fiberglass and he can ADD MATERIAL to the bottom to make it line back up AND seal the sides once it has been cut.

Just to re-iterate for everyone else NO ONE SELLS A THREE-PIECE SPOILER THIS HEIGHT. They are either smaller or larger and don't look as good as this one IMO

For an UPDATE, the spoiler is on it's way to Orlando to get chopped up

I wasn't doubting just curios of the actual height. Did you ever find anyone to make those harrel stripes for you?(I think it was you.)

Sorry, didn't see your post. I believe the spoiler is 5 inches, not sure. Never had anyone come through on the stripes unfortunately but I am going to keep trying

RK Sport (which I BELIEVE is the same spoiler the Sunoco and Dick Harrell Car uses) is a lot taller and more square than this one.
