I was checking the internet for original design drawings or pictures or prototypes, but haven't really come across anything. I'm curious as to the original design intent and if they even sketched up a design study with a spoiler early on.

For a 68 or 69 GTO, totally superfluous !

I got the solution. Put some Velcro on the spoiler and the car. Put the spoiler on when you’re feeling like you wanna see a spoiler, take it off when you don’t want to see a spoiler. Cha.....Ching. Brilliant!

Rare earth magnets inside the trunk at the ends, and embedded in the trunk lid and spoiler.

Because you failed to read the thread, I'm annoying?

It was annoying that you claimed to have an original brilliant idea that had recently been posted.

I saw his post, and I found it rather comical so my Post was an extension of his. I was bringing it to light again as a joke towards his post. It’s referred to as sarcasm, saying it was my brilliant idea, when in fact I knew he had already posted something similar. Seems you have an issue with picking on others about silly little things like this where you have no idea that I was having fun with his own post. Everyone else seemed to get it, but you! Hop off Champ lighten up man! Anthony and I are forum friends, so I was razzing him a bit. Next.........

Add me to the "didn't get it" group. You admitted you were ignorant in some recent discussions (Jane Fonda, Craig Hendrickson, etc) so I saw your post as you just skipped right to the end. Right or wrong, that is the impression I had. At any rate, I see plenty of folks doing that nowadays. When it comes to jumping in to conversations, I still believe getting up to speed is prudent. It's either that, or hit 'em with a disclaimer (my favorite is *TLDR)

*Too Long, Didn't Read

Lol it was a freaking silly little joke about Velcro and a spoiler. Nothing meant to get this serious about. Anthony gets what I was saying, good God make a simple silly thing a big drama scene. I did see his post!! And I re played it!! So what? this is a casual conversation forum, not a serious debate forum. CRIKEY!

I think someone got her panties in a bundle....

You got exposed and should have just admitted you didn't read the post.

Your laborious explanation is so lame it's funnier than misguided attempt at humor.

Thanks for sharing...

You guys are very entertaining. You don’t get my humor, and that’s fine.

How exactly do you “bundle” panties? and what makes you think I even wear panties? Hmmmmmm seems you think you know a lot about me, when in fact you do not.


“Laborious” WOW! Big word I’m impressed! NOT!

To end this thread on a good idea for 52% of the people that voted.... and a round of rotten fruit thrown by 48%, here is the outcome, after having a spoiler for like a year (thanks Mike!). It is temp primed, until paint. Pulling side molding, and decided to keep vinyl top. Resisting scoops also.

You need the chin spoiler.. it balances out the look. Otherwise, it's a good look
