Makes sense. Did you make them yourself or use a manufacturer? I hope you
didn't take my comments to mean that I thought they were ugly--I make a
lot of my own fiberglass and plastic parts. They ARE ugly, but they work.
When I want something pretty I go to a place that speaks gelcoat.
I like single-thickness flat sheets for fabricating parts. I make them on
a piece of glass with a light coat of mold release, then cut and assemble
to fit my needs and put on a second layer to hold the part together. The
best thing that ever happened to sticky-fingered home 'glas fabricators is
carbon fiber mat. You can make parts rigid just by bonding in a strip.
You can always tell someone who does a bit of fiberglass fabrication--they
have a few pairs of levis that stand up by themselves.

Subject: spoilers
I meant to mention before is that in fibreglass spoliers I would use a
chopper gun instead of a lay up system, in this way if you nailed
something withthe spoiler it will just break off a piece. If it is a hand
layup the damn thing will crack off a part and HANG ON and you get black
flagged for draging equipment. It happened.
