Option genuine rear spoiler

[kats]

Hi Bryan,

I used this paint can bought from a local auto shop. It says Dark grey metalic for 1985or later.Safari , Cedlic, e.t.c.

I want to have fun, for me it does not matter original color or not as long as the spoiler is original.

Thank you 240ZGL,

Yours also looks great, seems to me it is an early one? My understandings is the aftermarket spoiler which we can buy in the U.S.A. is a bit bigger than the original. Yours looks like exact original.

Thanks, yes it is an early original. It had a slight bend in it and took a lot of work to make it right.

Kats,

Very pretty, I need to check mine that is in the attic.

It is probably the later one.

Hope you are well my friend,

Fred

What a great story, 240ZGL , you have got an early original in the U.S.A. Congratulations!

Hello Fred, thank you very much, how are you doing? I know your attic contains lots of tresures which are hard to come by.

Bob Sharp had one by May 1970 ?

Now, that's how I remember Bob Sharp.

Hi,

Do we know until when exactly this spoiler was used ?

Hi! I don’t know when. I want to know it too.
Maybe somewhere in between from late 1970 to late 1971.

Oh, ok.
This model (the one with "ribs") was available for all early S30 or only for Z432 ?

For exemple, if I have an USDM car built on 12/70, this model is correct for my car ?

Thanks

The spoiler will be correct for your 12/70 car I think. In Japan, the spoiler was an optional item for any car listed in the brochure. Some other destinations had it as an optional item too.

The spoiler that I sell is the same one that Kats shows as it came on my RHD Z many years back. But the brackets inside seems a little flimsy so when we made the mold I opted to put a bottom plate on ours to strengthen the brackets and help keep moisture and dirt from getting under and laying on the paint. I am fairly sure that this spoiler was the model that BRE used and refined for their needs because my real BRE spoiler is slightly different. So we are going to be finishing the new mold for the BRE spoiler soon and again Our rear spoiler that is availible now is the same one Kats shows but with a bottom cover on it. Les

Can you link your website?  I'd love to buy one once I get to that stage.
