KnightOwl Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 To anyone who has this spoiler...I assume it uses the factory decklid holes, but does it cover the same area the factory piece does? I know the SD Wing leaves an inch or so exposed of the unpainted trunk lid. Is there any area left to be painted after installing the SLP? And is there any real difference between the SLP unit sold by 3800 performance and the one sold by DAR? Quote
The Guz Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Depends on which version of the SLP spoiler you are referring to. The Gen 1 covers more of the trunk compared to the Gen 2 which does not. The gen 2 resembles the special edition/daytona spoiler. I had to slightly enlarge the holes on the trunk lid to get the holes lined up with the spoiler. Quote
KnightOwl Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Posted January 13, 2018 Sorry, I forgot about the Daytona style...I was referring to the Gen 1 spoiler Quote
Waupachino Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 The Gen 1 will fit the factory spoiler location and not leave anything uncovered. Quote
KnightOwl Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 The Gen 1 will fit the factory spoiler location and not leave anything uncovered. Excellent news! Thanks! Quote
KnightOwl Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Posted January 23, 2018 SLP spoiler and scoops came yesterday. When the Escape comes out of the shop I'll see about getting these pieces paint matched. Still trying to decide on the single cowl type scoop or the twin front facing. Gotta lay them out and eyeball the results on my next day off. Quote
KnightOwl Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Installed SLP spoiler today, also the decklid decal, and the LED tails I put on last week. I love the look but I must admit the pre-drilled holes were off quite a bit. 3M tape to the rescue. I've had very good luck with it in the past. I also decided on the reverse scoop and I like the understated appearance, very similar to the stock hood vents on the 40th car The last image is a chop to play with reflective white as a decal color Quote
jimmyfloyd Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 I am not a fan of the stick on hood scoops, but I think you made the right choice in reversing it. Gives it the Trans Am 6.6L look and I quite like it on your car. Well done Quote
KnightOwl Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Posted April 27, 2018 The twin forward facing scoops won out... And the hood decal primergray and 94 olds vert 2 Quote
KnightOwl Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Posted May 22, 2018 Now for the rear spoiler redux.... Does anyone know offhand what size the holes in the rear deck are? Since the screws provided with the SLP spoiler are just sheet metal type with no inserts in the fiberglass, I think they may be the culprit in my trunk leaking water. I think I'm going with simply plugging the holes with rubber stoppers and re-installing the spoiler with 3M tape. I'll need to order the rubber plugs/stoppers or just use a carriage head bolt with some rubber washers but that will be too thick I'm afraid. Quote
