That is just part of the fiberglass. The whole thing is nice and thick with reinforcing beads as part of it. There are two brackets from the bottom of the spoiler to the caps of the A arms.

I had a OEM LE spoiler on my car when I got it. Had the metal brackets too.

I lowed the front to make the car level as the rear had sunk so when I went over a speed bump too fast the spoiler exploded into 20 pieces..Boy I was really mad as I knew it was a real one back then. I remembered that you could buy them from the Dealer to install on your car.

I'm just about ready to butcher another LE spoiler in my quest for more speed and brake/oil cooling.

I want a rigid flat splitter and huge air duct openings.

Not factory. Aftermarket. The dealers carried that spoiler though...the ZPW code is their special language for aftermarket parts.

all of the factory ones was pressure injected. the two round points at one end was the injection point ,and the other side was the vents. they filled the two piece mold with a "shredded" glass material that was really fluffy then injected the resin that was white.it was a poor glass resin ratio that why yours shattered so easy geoff. i drove mine on to a friends yard and hit a water meter cap in the yard and mine cracked really bad.
