RTR Aluminum Spoiler
Anyone heard if we might be able to purchace the 2011 RTR aluminum spoiler separately from a dealer....or if anyone is planning on making an aftermarket replica, i was dead set on a gt500 wing until i saw the RTR one, so now im putting off buying one till i find out.

CDC has been asked by me and others if they planned on selling RTR components (aside from the rims) separately. They wouldn't commit to a date, or specific parts. If I recall correctly I think something about spring time was being considered but not committed to.
If you really wanted one now, someone with a beefy sheet metal brake and shear could probably fab the same thing up. Not sure what thickness or heat treat CDC is using though.

That's a pretty neat piece though isn't it?!
I wonder how difficult it would be to reproduce it......probably not worth it for us normal folk

i talked with them at length about the parts as separates. they would not confirm or deny that the parts would ever be offered separately. then the guy says if you like the chin get the CDC one, our splitter bolts to it. I honestly suspect we will See the parts next year at some point, they will realize like shelby the aftermarket loot is in parts not an overpriced looks kit they are trying to sell via dealers.

On a side note, I have been considering doing something similar to this, but with making a custom aluminum replacement for the stock gurney flap on my GT500 spoiler.

It wouldn't be too hard actually. I don't know about "normal folk", but I have training and experience with aviation sheet metal work. The only issue I see is that after getting the sheet of aluminum trimmed right, the bend isn't straight bend. It curves along the back edge of the trunk. The only easy way to do that without a press and die, would be to create two bucks to sandwich the sheet in-between. Then you would have to message the bend slowly while trying to not work harder the metal. I've done similar, but on a smaller scale.

I'm good at suspension, but I get no spare time anymore (obviously)
If I had the tools and the spare time I'm sure I could figure it out, but it's not practical for me on my time schedule.......If you ever make one let me know and i'd be interested in buying it
