Maybe he got the GTR wing & not the actual Shark wing.

Can you give me a price for the CF?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (KayJai @ Oct 1 2005, 06:40 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>Did you repaint it yet?

Oh yeah, and ALL OEM Shark Spoilers have the center post, but maybe he shaved it off

Not yet, if I can get it in CF that would be better for my "project". I remember him saying he took it off a 97 that was in the junkyard. It looked exactly like mine, minus the brake light and the center post.

 

^yeah, Viper probably shaved it off.

Anyway, Back On Topic. smile.gif

unless i am mistaken the center post has screws to, i think, to take it off

 

center has two bolts.

side posts have three

brake light wires go thru center post

you cannot re-use stock holes from the 1997 spoiler with this 1999 (totally and completely diferenent pillar set-up) shark spoiler. You will need to drill more holes and if ya feel like it fill-in the old holes. Otherwise the posts should come with "gaskets" to place between the spoiler and hatch body which will seal holes fairly well. Water will now enter.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean...

Do you mean:

1. The Shark wing from an RD1 doesn't fit the stock holes on the RD2 (I agree).

or

2. The Shark wing (RD1) does not use the same holes as the stock RD1 wing (I disagree).

 

NOpe, Viper did not shave it off. There was a VERY limited amount of RD1's, very early, that came with a Shark Spoiler with no center post.

 

I just installed a GTR wing (shark spoiler WITHOUT the center post) on my blue tib which came with a shark spoiler from the factory.
The holes didn't line up at all.
I made my own gaskets out of a piece of rubber.

 

Do you have any left. How much shipping to Loveland,CO 80537

 

^^^^ Yeah, Red one and Black one are still available.

I don't HAVE the spoilers on hand, so I can't get them to the post office and weigh them to get a shipping price.

It's gonna be about $80-$90ish for shipping.
