RE: Xenon Mk.1 Front Spoiler Caveats

[Ray Dowling <RayD@amfirst.org>]

Whoa! You mean you got hardware and instructions? I need to make a phone
call...

 Missing parts aside, this sucker should last forever. It is as heavy as
they come. OTOH, It's ugly and I am really disappointed that it doesn't have
any pre-drilled holes. Furthermore, what kind of company slaps a shipping
label on a bare product and sends it on its way?
 Anyway, I promised pictures but the digital camera disagrees. Granted,
everyone has seen the carparts.com photo and there were a few pics
circulated of it on cars, but I have one pic from the top that shows just
how boxy this thing is. The corners are a perfect 90 degree angle. It really
reminds me of something that would be used on a 80's Cavalier. Oh well, it
will look better than my crushed front end and it'll probably whip any curb
it encounters too.

Some warnings about the Xenon spoiler:

The Xenon front spoiler is shipped without a box, the hardware and
instructions are just wrapped around the one end of the spoiler, 
it is not drilled for the mounting holes, it is pretty heavy, with the
hardware it weighs 3843 grams Vs. the original Zender S spoiler
w/fiberglass repair weighing in at 1456 grams.
To the metrically challenged, it works out to about 8 and 1/2 pounds.

Does anyone know how much the "Potterman" Mk.1 spoiler weighs?

I'm not going to use this spoiler, if anyone is still interested in a
"new" Xenon front spoiler, e-mail me.
