I'm posting this here after the site was referred to me by someone...
After getting screwed (and rather _pissed) with an absolute liar on ebay with a supposedly complete spoiler and brackets, I decided to make my own brackets. I spent more than I thought (enough to buy several entire spoilers on ebay!) and spend alot more time than I wanted, but now I can make as many of them as I want! I used a urethane resin that is quite strong (i.e., it is machineable) - if you want specs, I can tell you later; the material seems not as brittle as the original plastic. I made molds from used and repaired broken brackets - the resin and molds picked up so much detail, that you can see the marks from the star washers, etc. from the prototype brackets. This should replace bmw part number 82-11-1-466-520. I will sell sets to defray the costs of the ordeal. I am thinking in the range of about $40/set. These were designed to be sacrificial and not punch holes in the spoiler when you hit something (unlike those that were reproduced in aluminum - which is why, in part, I selected this material). Tell me what you think!
