I know several people are looking at the Legend spoiler and body kit. I wanted to give you guys a my review about the Legend Spoiler...

Keep in mind that this is my opinion and we all know what they are worth...

I should note, that I am very picky about fit and finnish. I want a show car quality look to any part I put on the outside of the car. Others might no be so picky and could live the parts as is...

However, if you want smooth edges, angles and curves, you can plan on doing a lot of glass work. I got one of the duck tail spoilers and the curves are not smooth and the thickness of the leading and trailing edges ( most noticable parts ) is wavy and uneven. I have all most got it to an acceptable level, but it took a lot glass work and a lot of block sanding. I am about ready for the final skim coat to get the wavyness out of the larger sections...

The Fit also leaves a little to be desired. I had to grind down several high spots on the bottom of the spoiler to get it match the cruve on the trunk. It will also be necessary to add a few plastic washers to level the spoiler so that the front edges do not hit the quarter panels when you close the trunk. I also shaved off about 1/8" on the outer edges to get it to match the lines of the car.

Even if you can live with the "as shipped" quality of the parts, I highly recomend that you fit them BEFORE you get them painted. It will most likely require some gringing and sanding for a proper fit....

The basic shape looks great, but their overall quality lives a little to be desired. I am pretty good with fiberglass work. I think a beginner could do it, but you may want to read a book on finnishing fiberglass if you select these body parts...

I added a copule of pics after I got the fit right.... ( I have done more glass work since the pics to even the edges )

 

Thanks for the review. Can you post a full side profile pic of the car when you get a chance? I would really like to see how it looks. Thanks again.

I ran into similiar issues as well. It took my body shop 3 tries to get the finish to be good enough to match the car, and not look bad. Here is a profile shot:



You can see additional shots of it on my web site. All in all I like it a lot, and I get compliments but there are better quality spoilers on the market. If it were not for the dedication of my body shop, I'm sure I would have ripped it off.
