make a mold of the 83-86 ducktail and a mold of the same for the 87-88's then i'd be interested.

Its just too expensive for some people's pockets.

I like what your doing aerobird. Its a GREAT idea to start making more aftermarket style stuff for our cars. But as I said, the price is going to drive some people away.

Keep up the good work.

I'm really impressed with how nice that final gelcoat looks.

MAP has the first two spoilers out and done, they look great! #3 will be done next week. We are filling all four pre-orders before opening up production for general orders.

If you have already pre-ordered, please PM/email me to confirm shipping address and what not.

Once all of the pre-orders are sold, the price will increase by a little and it will also be offered on eBay. If you would like to pre-order before that happens, please PM/email me.

Thank you!

87-88. They will not fit an 83-86. If it says 84 somewhere I sausage-fingered it :hick:

I like the thought of parts being avilable again. Im much more interested in coughing up for the bodykit then the spoiler. If you can convince your manufacturer to have a taller pedestal i would be interested. What do you think though. another 2 inches taller and on the decklid of a cat??
