Thanks for the info. It is plastic probably abs feels kinda like black plastic poop pipe lol. Thats interesting to know maybe i can mess around with it get it good enough to stay in place obviously its not a show car.

Yeah it's a PVC based plastic. You definitely don't need all the holes to be intact, you could probably hold it on pretty well with just a few fasteners on each side. Originally they were supposed to be held on by little plastic push rivets. What happened was a lot of people installed them with sheet metal screws or similar. The back of the fastener pockets don't actually touch the trunk skin, they end up higher so theres a gap. So when you put screws in it puts pressure on the PVC and causes cracks. So a lot of the originals have the little fastener pockets broken out of them.

I stand corrected, it is a direct connection for a 70-76 duster,demon, if you will look at aftermarket spoilers on ebay they show a lime green duster saying direct bolt on, i saw a photo one on a bodies a few months ago, someone put one on and had filled the bolts with filler and primed it

Yes Showcars out of Canada is still reproducing them. There have been people in the past that had problems with them, but since they've been on eBay they seem to have gotten their act as a business together. I have one of those spoilers. It's a pretty good reproduction of the original. But the Showcars mold is a little off, the spoiler ends up being a little shorter than the originals were. It's not much, maybe a little more than 1/8" per side. It's really just how the lip tapers out on the edge, that particular reproduction cuts the lip off a little flat so the whole thing ends up a little shorter. You end up seeing a little more trunk lid at either end of the spoiler. It's hard to tell, I have an original to compare it to though and you can see the difference when they're side by side.

The one without the screw pockets might be a different reproduction, there was a guy on eBay under CNS something that was making them without the pockets. Those are terrible for quality though. I have one of those too, and it would take a TON of work to make it look good.
