I'm lookin to pick one up for this spring...
What material should it be made out of. I have heard that they come in fiberglass and/or urethane or something like that. Which is better and why?

Also, what about the mounting bolts? Are there different versions, and which is better and why?

Lastly, where is the best place to pick one up for the best price.

Thanks fellas.:)

Saleen no longer makes a 4 bolt s281 for the 94-98s. They now attach using the 2 front bolts, then the back edge is 2 sided taped to the car.
Also, Saleen makes theirs out of urethane, which has casused many problems for fitment from what I've heard and seen. They often arrive warped direct from Saleen.
I bought ABC Exclusive Fiberglass 4 bolt S281 and couldn't be more happy. It fit perfect, right out of the box.
I have a few close=up pics of the fitment. Let me know if you guys wanna see.

Please post pics. :)
Does any of this require any drilling of holes? (I hope not)
Or does it just bolt up to the stock spoiler holes?

These pics are of Kaenan's fiberglass S281 Spoiler. YES it fits in the stock 4 bolt locations. It just bolts right up.

Looks good, but shouldn't the wing be sitting flush with the quarter panels? I believe that is the issue people are having with the OEM saleen wing.

No, then it would scratch the shit out of it everytime you closed your trunk. There is supposed to be a small gap. My friend has an original fiberglass s-281 on his 98 cobra and it is the same way as the pictures.

That's true, I guess I never thought of that since I never use the trunk:-D
