A few days ago I received some pictures from Jim showing me how poorly my rear spoiler fit. Problem was that the current one didn't fit anywhere close to right and even if Jim worked it over, it still had a strange off center bow in the leading edge when viewed from above. Rather than put a boat load of time into another crappy repo one, I bit the bullet and ordered an NOS one. It wasn't cheap and I REALLY hated buying it.

Jim sent this to let me know the NOS part had arrived and at first glance my heart sank, thinking it had been damaged in shipping. Took a moment to realize that masking tape looks 30 years old. Sucker had better fit perfectly!







I also received a couple pictures of Spray Outs for two of the colors on my list. Jim is nice enough to mail those out to me. I keep saying it and I do mean it.....I'm getting there.
