Being one cannot just purchase GP Glass, one of the same basic style will be provided.

if it isn't authentic GP rear glass, then will there be an option to retain the rear wiper?? I find that it really comes in handy and I've never owned a (contemporary, 454 Chevelle aside) car w/o a rear wiper.

Maybe it might be possible to just have a hold "drilled" to accommodate the wiper?

The wing is being shopped around with various shops that do this sort of work. Believe you me, I will let everyone know when I have something to update.

I also need to come up with more cash to keep this moving forward so I have some wheels for sale...

Been selling little things and while that helps it's big chunk o change thats needed to get rolling. I underestimated production costs based on conversations I had, but once out in the real world I found they about tripled. So still trying to raise the capital.

Gnat: Just a heads up if the rear glass has to be replaced... I'm in the process of putting on my CF Rear Hatch and removing the rear glass from the OEM is damn near impossible.. You may want to include instructions on how to remove in your kit....If anyone has a easy removal process please PM me (I don't want to hijack this great thread)..I also want one of these wings...

You should have Nate source you a new rear glass that is like the GP just in case your son decides he wants the rep wing

Things are progressing along, very slowly but progressing. The hardest part is finding a partner I can trust to produce these. I really don't want to find them on ebay the day after I take delivery.

Interesting that the glass needs changing. I was under the impression that you could fit a GP spoiler to a standard MCS boot lid. I know a guy who has one, and all he bought was the spoiler, and fitted it himself. He still has the rear wiper.

I recently priced up the 3 parts of the spoiler needed and it was over $1600!
