The Blaine Fab spoiler is BMW M3 driver approved - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I drove the 1992 project car out to see some friends at the autocross event today, hung out for a bit and then headed home. On my way home I wound up at a traffic light next to a new/current generation BMW M3. The Z isn't that fast, but it's a bit loud, sounds lumpy and sounds faster than it actually is. Anyway, I've got the windows down since there is no AC in the car and I hear someone yelling at me. I look over and the BMW driver has pulled up, rolled down his window and is yelling "Hey, where'd you buy that wing?" (yes, it's not a wing, but I didn't try to correct him over the noise of the Camaro). I yelled back "Blaine Fabrication.com". He says "Thanks, it's really cool." and gives me a big grin. I expected him to thumb his nose at the "mullet-mobile", instead, he seemed to think the lexan spoiler was really cool. I was surprised.

The funny thing is that I actually took the time to put Alan's sticker across the back window before I took the car out today. So, the information was there if he uses it. Alan's sticker actually beat the FRRAX.com sticker onto my car, how's that for getting the important stuff done first.

So, Alan, if you get a call from Columbus, OH for a lexan spoiler for an M3, tell him I said hello. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

The spoiler has no functionality at typically legal speeds, and tends to collect road grime on the backside rather quickly, so I would be surprised if any are installed on dedicated street cars. Drilling holes in exterior panels tends to differentiate street cars from race cars. My website, argh.. It was free, but not maintained. I don't know what happened to it. I'll have to figure it out someday.
