Deck lid spoiler

Are there any owners of a 55 or 65 who have installed a deck lid spoiler on their car? If so, any pics?

Thanks

"A spoler is called a spoiler because it spoils the design" therefor many car brands is using difusers, to make "ground efect" Look at the Enzo and the Koenigsegg. 210mph+ but no spoiling spoiler

Hey Lou:

Refer to my Pewter Silver SL55 for the Lorinser Decklid spoiler on pg. 5 of the picture section above. It adds a nice and subtle touch of class without detracting from the SL55's character lines (enhances it). I always felt that the rear-end needed a little help to buff-up the soft feminine curve of the trunk edge.

Thumbs up

Ditto above. I'm not kidding myself that there's anything aerodynamic about it... I just like the way it looks.

I bought mine from Raffi who use to be a manager at Oracle Motorsports here in Studio City and is now going back to starting his own business again. Any decent speed shop should be able to order you and install the Lorinser decklid spoiler. You can also order it and have a trusted paint/body shop prep, paint and install it quickly on your SL.
