I am sure that there is at least one or two more Cateras with those wings...
So lets see them...
This is what mine looks like... I am wondering if it was installed too far back maybe?     |

Nah, that looks about right - for the effect you're after. |

I like the way it sits on the lid... it overhangs past the rear lights and it makes the back end appear to be longer, but I was hoping to see some more pictures of others that have installed it. |

I guess they made like 50,000 RED GTOs and maybe 1000 of the other colors...
Keep an eye out on ebay or craigslist and you will find one that may match your car.
THe LS1 forums is a good place too! |

They want way too much for those pieces of plactic...  Plus, the GTOs were metallic black |

I hear ya! You can always try one of those automotive touchups or paintworld for the exact paint, and they sell it in aerosol cans so all you have to do is prime it, spray with the paint and clear coat it after that... Shouldn't cost you more then 30-40$ to paint it yourself... and also the black is one of the easier colors to paint I think, with silver you get dark and light spots based on how much paint was built up on a given spot. |

Yeah, that's what I'm doing- painting it myself. |

MV6, I like the spoiler, I'm more interested though in how you shaved the crest and Catera lettering from the trunk panel and replaced with the Opel emblem.
It looks really clean. Is it an OEM piece or just filled in and smoothed? |

Well I removed the letters then filled the area with some type of glue that hardens like a rock... and on top of that a layer of bondo, primer and paint...
It needs to be repainted though because the paint does not have the shine that I wanted.
Also the OPEL logo is just installed where the Cadillac crest used to sit... I didn't touch that. |

Did you sell that wing yet? With the exchange rate now it works about to be $80 CAD before shipping. Do you know how much shipping would be from MI to NS?

I will try either USPS or FedEx maybe even UPS for that.
What is your ZIP code so I Can see about some quotes.
I know the wing is probably 2-4 lbs at most but its fairly long... maybe 4ft. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
