Anyone have a spoiler on their Riv?

My father saw a Riviera the other day with what he swore to be a factory spoiler. Knowing that this is not likely, I started to search the internet and found the following on eBay:

Has anyone purchased this spoiler who could comment on its quality/looks? I'm not a big fan of the squashed ends, but then again this car can't handle a spoiler with a high profile, or it will look out of place.

This is definitely a cool mod regardless... anyone know of any other Riviera mods?

Hey, that doesn't look too bad! I actually have been thinking the same thing, I wouldn't mind having a rear spoiler on mine to accent that tail end a little more. I am not a fan of those big ol' blades hanging 2' above the trunk lid, but I like the way this looks.

My only concern with this is that it is ABS blow-molded plastic (hollow). I wonder how thick it is? I think you'll have a hard time getting paint to stick to that. It would be pretty flexible also, so the paint would have to be the type that would resist cracking when flexed slightly.
