Been looking online for a while now for a pro-touring type spoiler for my Camaro and came up nothing that I liked designwise so I deceided to try my hand at making one on my own. Please keep in mind that I am a woodworker by trade so go easy on me. Also didn't have access to any fabrication tools so I went old school and made due with what I had. Made this with a $24 4" electric grinder with a cut-off wheel, a die grinder, drill and my welder. I started out with a cardboard template and went from there. Used what I had left over from smoothing out my firewall and making some miscellaneous pieces to box out for my 4-link adjustments and top shock mounts in the trunk area. Went to my local Tractor Supply and bought a couple lengths of 3/4" x 1/8" that I would use at the top and bottom of the spoiler part for rigidity and so that I could drill and tap it for mounting purposes to my lower valance. Although it is 100%, the spoiler is fully welded and mounted on the car. The splitter is only held on for the time being with vise grips. Why you ask??? Well I have that classic answer that I ran out of welding gas on a Sunday so I couldn't finish:banghead: . Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks
