Hey Im trying to figure out what spoiler to use.. I would love one like on a grand national but the grand prix has the slight drop on each side of the trunk.. anyone have any ideas.. thanks...
New to forum.. need to choose a spoiler for my GP!

Welcome. Nice GP. The only and best looking spoiler I've ever seen on a GP is from the 2+2. It's also the biggest one on a Gbody. The smallest being the GN. I've also seen Hurst/Olds spoilers look decent on GP's.
Unfortunately no one makes the GP spoiler for non-2+2s. So You may have to get it fabbed if you want that style. Lauren Engineering makes the H/O style spoiler for the GP but it's not cheap. They also make a 2+2 kit for '81-'87 GPs. (Also not cheap)
I hope this helps.

I have an Monte SS spoiler that I cut the ends off. To mold it to the trunk I have to cut it in half and rejoin it at the proper angle
thanks guys.. jet set the one on the white car is what I'm leaning towards.. but i will check out lauren engineering to see about the 2x2

I have never seen the Lauren Engineering 2+2 rear deck spoiler listed separate from their kits so it might be molded into the trunklid itself, but I do think that it is the best looking rear spoiler I have seen on a GP and it has a nice aggressive look to it.
I also feel having a large rear spoiler like that will help balance the look of a tall cowl hood.
I purchased my ground effects, taller rear deck spoiler and nose conversion from Lauren many years ago and there is even a (very old) picture of my car on page 19.
If you are comfortable using fiberglass I do think a Monte SS rear spoiler could be reworked to look pretty good by keeping it the full width of the deck area and adding in to fill the gaps in the recessed areas and on the ends if needed to bring it out to the edge of the quarters and whatever mods you have to do to make it sit flush on the decklid.
565 thanks for the info.. your engine build list is quite impressive!! that thing sounds like it is as squirrelly as mine..haha
