Thread: Did Direct Connection ever make a P-body spoiler?

  1. #1

    Question Did Direct Connection ever make a P-body spoiler?

    Just started thinking yesterday about whether or not Direct Connection made a custom spoiler for the P-bodies? They made the duckbill for the Omnis, a Sharktail for the 2-door L-bodies, a Whaletail for both L-bodies and G-bodies, but as far as I've seen in my years doing this hobby, I've never seen anything for the P's? Does anyone know one way or another?

    Huge +1 here. I have louvers on my blue omni and would love a whale tail, or other type DC spoiler on the back.

    I was told that they are most likely modified to fit. Either way, I think a nice DC spoiler would really set them off.

    Speaking of Duck Bills for L body 4 doors.... CAN SOMONE PLEASE PUT A LEGITIMATE PICTURE OF ONE UP? I've seen lots of wanna be pictures and some nice improvisions.... but I have yet to see a true duckbill spoiler of a Omni or GLH. Even if the picture is just out of a DC catalog...

    Please

    I'd be interested in seeing that as well...as far as the whale tail...its a good looking spoiler, but, I think it would look better on the 2dr l-body. I think its way to big for an omni.

    The whale tail in no way shape or form would fit a 4-door L-body lol....

    Re: Did Direct Connection ever make a P-body spoiler?

    Yes they did. It was a sponge type spoiler like the whale tail. I saw one on a Shadow at the junkyard 5 plus years ago. The sad part is that I did not take it. It was starting to show it's age for a foam spoiler. I found out what is was months after I saw it in the yard. I think they had pictures of it on the other site. The style of it was a four support raised spoiler. It sat about 2 to 3 inches up. I hope this answers your question.
