. That blows! I'm not trying to get into bodywork to get this thing done. Thought it would just swap out with no problems. I guess it's only a direct swap out if you have the regular spoiler. I guess I'll be keeping the pedestal on...

i guess the pedistal spoiler has different mount holes than the lower lip spoiler we all had. Too bad, it bolted right on my car.

Aww man, I was ready to pull the trigger on this one myself with CJ Pony, but I have a pedestal spoiler as well. Thought it was a simple mode I could do myself, time to rethink. Sorry HOTROD... big disappointment.

Yeah, a little disappointed... They are going to let me send it back so I won't really be out anything(just return shipping). that just means $300 more toward wheels/tires and suspension I guess.

Didn't think of that...

FYI ...

CJ Pony Parts has the painted 3D500 Spoiler on sale again for $247 painted and shipped. The Gurney Flap is painted black when purchased from CJ Pony.

I just ordered one ....

Damn man, I must have just missed this. Looks like it's around $290 now.

Did you click on the 10% off banner first ??? Maybe that's the trick ... because I just tried it and it's still 10% off. Make sure you are choosing the free shipping option.

What's strange is that it was $255 when I checked out.

When they sent me my final invoice it says it was $247 ....

I figured out the problem for you guys ...

For some reason Sunset Gold is $50 cheaper than the other colors ...

Maybe that means they have a spare one sitting on the shelf they want to get rid of and it will ship faster!
