Just thought I'd post a few pics of the JHP spoiler just fitted to the 'ro.

I know most CV8 owners feel these spoil the lines of the car, but I think the rear end is 'lacking'. Some of the LS1.GTO forum blokes have been putting the 3 piece HSV/VXR Spoilers on and they look 'wrong' on the base model without the full kit.

Anyway, comments or criticisms welcome....








Cheers
Paul

I like it mate.

It's not lairy and it's nice and subtle.

If it was a big whale tail style thingy, then it would look naff.

But that is spot on. thumbup

I like it too, I noticed that Tim has one on his red beast down at lsv. They are subtle and from the back look nicely blended in.

Would look super with a rothmans paint scheme

Cheers.

Looks good at a distance, but fit leaves a little to be desired. Not the fault of the bodyshop, they really tried, but just came to the conclusion that Aussies don't manufacture their body-kits too well!

I think that look spot on, very nice. Anything bigger would look rubbish but that is a good choice.

I think that looks very subtle and well done. It suits the car perfectly.

Smiler.

yep I think it improves the rear end. How much for the job did you say?

£176 inc vat for paint and fitting. Also had the inset 'Talon' logo filled in (it would show just above the Holden badge and it looks naff) no extra charge prior to painting.

Spoiler cost £180 ready primed,(they did have one ready painted in red for about £150) can't remember shipping costs 'cos it was shared with the VXR steering wheel I bought at the same time. The shipping cost a bit more than I anticipated iirc. JHP mailed it via DHL on a Friday and I got it 10am Monday morning!
