Cost was 0.00. I'm in the business. Welded the holes closed, did the needed cosmetic work on the inside and outside of the lid, refinished both the top and underside. The color came out dead on too....no blending was needed. Made me a happy camper. The job has to be worth at least 550.00 if someone was to come in to have it done. But if it was a color that required blending into the Qtrs. then it would be more.Warner Robins GTO said:Wow...Looks GREAT! How much did it run to fill in the holes and repaint?
My feelings exactly........What were they thinking...?ralniv said:Excellent work johnebgoode! The hind quarters of your goat look great... ummm, well, you know what i mean.
What is up with these bolt-on appendages that serve virtually no functional purpose? It's a shame that they waste money slapping on a non-functional hood scoop and a marginally-at-best functional spoiler.
The spoiler doesnt do squat . Besides if ya needed down force why would anyone want to use the spoiler we have when its not a solid piece. The air will go right underneath it. Its strictly an appearance item.WOWHUH said:I too think it adds a little more pizazz to the GOAT. I do like the spoiler that HuskerGTO has on his GTO. Not too excited about the factory one. A bit too "curvy" for me.
I am curious as to the handling at high speeds with out the spoiler, afterall, it does add downforce.
Johnnie is right. The only downforce that useless, ugly, cheap POS does is via the weight on the decklid.WOWHUH said:I am curious as to the handling at high speeds with out the spoiler, afterall, it does add downforce.
:agree It's starting to grow on me.westell said:SWEET:cool I swear I'm doin this. At first I was really dead set against it, but the more and more I see, well, I'm on the other side of the fence now![]()
Looks very good.

Can you get more pics of it from various angles to show the wife?
