It was me that called Rick last night to ask him about the spoilers. :-) I have seen so many with them, that I thought they did come with them. He didn't and said he would take one for the team and post the question. I looked in the FGF tech section right after and found out the answer that many of you have pointed out here. But I did not get back to him in time before he posted. Yeah, They are common, but not actually stock. I got a good deal on a set still in the boxes on the weekend and bought them. Still not sure if I will use em or not. My build is not "numbers matching" and I like the look. Got a 400 hood too. It's currently REALLY purple but sweeeet. Thanks for the responses. PS... Anybody ever Google our Bo Svenson? Yes, he is that Bo Svenson. (sorry Bo). A very nice guy by the way. We spoke on the phone a few times in last couple of days. (if any of you are thinking of buying his parts.) Now I am Really thrilled with my new steering wheel, even more than before... now it has "provenance" as they say on "that" overblown TV show.

In reality, he is a heck of a fellow and does awesome work on his car. Can't give you anymore hints because I did tell him i wouldn't give out his name. It is just one of those things with the spoilers...guys swing either way on them...I am not a big fan of the rear...but I am still jealous of all 1st gen owners at this point!
