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?

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.

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.

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.
