Fitting a Brake Light to the Spoiler

Recommended Posts

I thought I would share a mod I just did to my 69.  I used a spoiler from a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer that I got from the wreckers for $20. The profile of the doner spoiler was almost identical to the Mustang spoiler.

I wanted the light to not be very obvious when walking around the car. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Attached. I'm really happy with how it turned out and is not really visible until the brake is on.

was it fiberglass work or just epoxy?

I used an Aussie product called Plasti-Bond. It is an epoxy filler/glue. The section of spoiler I used was plastic and the fibreglass reson doesn’t bond too well to this.

I cut a piece of cardboard so I had the profile of my spoiler and took it to a wrecking yard and looked for a spoiler with a similar profile. There were plenty of options and even if the profile isn’t exact it doesn’t matter too much as you can just cut out a smaller section. 

Mine was off a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer and was $20 for the whole spoiler. And they are the crappy Australian dollars.

Funny, I just looked up the exchange rate and its  .69 to the USD

dont feel bad, we have the same issue with euro and pound.

At least you guys have euro's, pounds, and AD's to throw around.  Right now, I'm trying to find another penny so I can rub the two of them together...

I have a jar of pennies I can send you. shipping them would cost more than they're worth :-)
