Re: Replace the spoiler?

I used the fiberglass one from Hawks. The fit and finish was great and once installed you can not tell the difference from the original. Hope this helps.
I would not hesitate to go that route.

Re: 89 Formula 350 Cleaning and Detailing

That Formula is looking really sweet. However the door edge guards are killing me. They just break up the lines of the car. Lose those and it would be perfect 👌.

Re: 85 Kammback TA

I'm surprised no one has commented on the price of the car in the ad that I posted. Ugly as sin with a price tag of 125k. Crazy.

Re: 87 Formula only $19,995

That one does not have the 305 TPI. The speedo would go up to 140 not 120 as shown. Nice car though if you don't mind doing the slow mosey around town.
