1997 850 GLT Sedan I would like a spoiler.

Post by Huskyhunter »

alright all i would like is a standard spoiler, like the ones that came stock on the car back in the day. nothing fancy. i might as well be asking for diamonds and gold though, because they don't exist. if anyone can help me get one for fairly cheap ($0-$75) i would be very grateful. oh and my car is the standard grey color.

Getting one to match your color might be tough but they are otherwise pretty plentiful. I've got one in the garage but we tried to paint it to match my son's 850 and it was an epic failure. We never even clear coated it. If you don't get any bites PM me.

I have a decent black spoiler from my s70. It is an aftermarket copy of a stock spoiler. $25 + shipping. Image

Factory mounting kits usually will not work with an aftermarket spoiler, they mount differently

This one showed up on Craigslist in Kansas City, the guy might ship it but the color actually looks like it is off of a Platinum.

This spoiler uses the stock mounts and also months using two extra screws through the deck lid. Very secure.
