This past weekend I was roaming through a salvage yard looking for a bumper for my daughter's car. While there I saw something that caught my eye. This spoiler is the stock spoiler off of a late model Ford Taurus SHO. (the really ugly bubble looking one) It looked like the size and shape would fit the proportions of the Solstice, so I pulled it off and bought it. It was only 12 bucks so I figure it was worth a try. I do not have the stock solstice spoiler, and I never really wanted one, but I think this one would look kind of unique. I have not mounted it, because I'm still not sure if I'll like it. Here's a few pics of it rough painted and mocked up on the car. What do you guys think?

I like it but I believe you got it from a Taurus.

Looks good in the pic, I would give it a try.
You could always reverse it with a little body work. I have the Fac one and quite like it.

Blk GXP:

Surprisingly, that really does look good. I think placement on the trunk lid a little more to the rear will make it even look better. I do like the shape and size for the Solsitce, nice find. If you can, a few more pictures from different angles and perhaps an overhead view (from the top down) would be appreciated.

When the weather clears up I'll get some better pics in the daylight.

I don’t think it looks too bad, I would like to see a rear quarter shot from 40 feet away so we can get a sense of proportion.

Too narrow IMO. I think the solstice looks great with something like the RK wing

I like it. A more compact look for a spoiler. Not so gawdy...or like you're looking for a landing strip. Only one I like better is the AfterShock...but for 12 bucks..what the hey.

It quit raining today, so I took the car outside and got some more pics. I think it fits the car pretty good. I can't believe this came from a Taurus. They're so ugly. This thing is similar in size to the Sky spoiler, but shaped better for a Solstice. I still have not mounted it. My painting skills are not too good, and I want it to be perfect, so I'll keep trying 'til I get it right.
