My bad 03 ss

Do you have the flat surfboard style and want the 06+ spoiler, or do you want the nascar inspired spoiler that came on 00-05?

SAMSET99 05-18-2010 10:24 AM

yea i have the flat surf board style. i was pricing out the nascar one. is the 06-07 the same or dose it fit. basicly that fin style is what i want. nascar or 06 whatever

If you have an 03 SS with the flat "surfboard" spoiler, and are looking to get the Nascar spoiler, you need an 06-07 Nascar spoiler. The 00-05 Nascar spoilers are not direct bolt up spoilers if you already have a surfboard spoiler.

Good luck finding the 06/07 Nascar spoiler (which is the only one that will bolt directly up to the surfboard holes). They are very hard to come by. It will take time, but if you do find a used one, it will be much cheaper than buying from GM. Although, $500 for an 06/07 Nascar spoiler, new from GM is not a horrible price, expensive yes, but i've heard as high as $750.

My best advice is to search Ebay and Craigslist looking for an 06/07 Nascar style spoiler. If you find one, jump on it.

Do not fall for the fits 00-07, these are the older style nascar spoiler, and again, will NOT fit the holes left by the surfboard.

Yes, that above is all true.

Both MaMonte and myself have put the 06/07 spoiler on our car in place of the surfboard style spoiler.

And they are VERY hard to come by. My search took over a year (and I luckily found a black spoiler)

thanks guys that's what i was looking for. see i work for a ford parts department and have "hook ups" threw other dealers and when i started looking at montes i called on the nascar body kit cuz i would have to say my fav is that blue with the silver bottom.
anyways so i get a discount for gm and he said that that spoiler would cost me around 500 but didn't mention anything like what you guys just said.
also i was looking online and found a couple different websites that had them for a lot cheaper like 150 or something if i remember. now these were the 00 style but if they have the 06 style is it i good idea?

ChibiBlackSheep 05-18-2010 11:04 AM

IF you can find the 06 style, it's a good idea, but you won't find it from an aftermarket company... most likely only find it from someone parting out their Monte Carlo, or if you find a wrecked one in a junk yard.

MAMONTE 05-18-2010 12:14 PM

you will not find the 2006-2007 style online anywhere, trust me! The only place online you MIGHT find one is a place selling used parts.

And if you have an 06 Monte, that means it came standard with the surfboard spoiler, which means NO it is NOT a good idea to use the 00-05 style nascar spoiler.

The ONLY time using an 00-05 style would be ok is if you have NO spoiler at all and wanted to add one. But if you have the surfboard, you MUST get the 06/07 nascar spoiler if you want a direct bolt on. Otherwise you will have to exposed holes in the trunk that need to be filled.

Oh and I should mention, if you plan on swapping out your surfboard spoiler for a nascar spoiler, you need to plan on painting your trunk lid to. I can almost assure you that you will peel up paint, and or have large, deep scratches from the surfboard spoiler, and they will not be fully covered by the nascar style of spoiler. So include repainting the trunk lid in your budget.
