Recommendations for a rear spoiler

I need a new rear spoiler, like many 3rd gen owners. I was wondering can anyone recommend someone. I have read on this site that people are having trouble with GT Auto. Thanks..

I got a 3rd gen fiberglass wrap around spoiler from GTautoacc.net in Sept. of 2002. The spoiler is awesome. The problem I had was getting in contact with them after it was late. I must have called 50 times...they never picked up the phone. I got it about 2 weeks late. They make a great product just sh*ty customer service.

Anybody know who makes this spoiler?

I put an ad in to sell this spoiler, and I keep getting people asking who makes it. Does anyone know? I've never seen another one.

Thanks

I went with the JSP self adjusting 58" mecha aluminum spoiler. I have no complaints about this spoiler, only compliments. Everyone I have taken for a ride said they could feel the difference and how it would always feel firm to the ground but not too much in the high end. They are expensive, but if you buy a fiberglass spoiler and get it painted, you will probably spend about he same by the time you're done. The one I have is sold for about $500 and well worth it.
