Rocky (not Feroza) spoiler? [images inside]

Post by SpaceFrog »

Hi all, i'm new here. :oops: I'm searching for a spoiler for a Rocky EL from 1991. Somebody knows where can I find them?

Aside from this, somebody knows if i can adapt a spoiler from another model?

Regards,

Is your Rocky "fish tailing" to much requiring a roof mounted spoiler to aid down force, hence improve traction? :?

He's taking the piss out of ya. He's asking you if you need the spoiler on it to make the back of the car stick to the road better due to the increased downforce on the rear from the spoiler. Its a joke...

Who me???

Never!

Rockys are prone to getting a bit tail happy at times. Especially with the big block 3Y under the bonnet, like mine had.

I heard murcod was after a rear spoiler to increase down force too but I think he settled for a couple bags of cement in the rear. Did the trick quite nicely! :rofl:

Try one from a Toyota Tarago. I believe they have roof mounted spoilers on some models. Or measure the width of your Rocky's roof and go to the wreckers and measure what they have.

Hope this helps.

Go down to Auto Barn or a Jap Tune Shop and get a GT wing.
