Ok, the last thing that I have on on the outside for my T-Type clone is the rear spoiler.

Any advise?

I know there are the following:

-Kirban
-G-Body Parts
-grand national specialties
-EBAY units.

What is the best, for OEM looking? Ease of install?

The best is a 5 piece oem replacement. There is another manufacturer getting to release a 3 piece. You may want to hold off for about 30 days. It will be an ABS plastic. Not us just one of our suppliers.
The tail light extensions on a factory spoiler are different from a regal to a GN. So if you get a factory spoiler make sure you get the tail light extensions as well. They have an added extra support for the spolier tip studs.

The are different? Really, I never noticed.

Well the after market OEM's are made off a??? GN or Regal?

I just want a "stock" looking spoiler. Not looking to kill the bank either.

Yes if you look under the tail light extension you will see a Blue section of epoxy. That is so the factory spoiler tip can attach flush with studs & nuts. They make after markets off the oem's but not all are equal. The corners have to be resined in to the extension (regal).

The other compay we spoke to last week stated they were making the tips with a bottom that can be attached. They should be done in a few weks. I don ot have any in hand for comparrison.

The other units like we sell from Danko have a hollow bottom. They sell for $189.00. But even being a vendor it takes us a few weeks to get them in.

Could you email me when they become available.
I can do that for you or I'll come back & post. They are also manufacturing the front speaker bezels for the Buick that went discontinued as well. Pretty good company. They do a few things for us already.

While i will agree that the spoiler is cool and looks nice, the only T-Type that came from the factory with it was the 84-86 WH1. You did state you are building a clone right? Pix?

Go with Bweavy he knows his stuff.

Or if you are handy with sheet metal you could go with something like this.
