Could you post a picture?

If I really wanted to user the spoiler, I would consider cutting slots in the mounting surface, allowing it to conform with the body without passing stress along to the business end of the spoiler.

Each slot should end at a 1/4" or larger hole to act as a stress relief to avoid cracks. The hole may even have to be on the front of the spoiler.

Drill the hole first, then run the slot into it. Sand all edges.

I would start in the middle and work toward the ends. Some slots might have to be V-shaped if they bind.

Find a local guy who builds hot rods - my neighbor Jimmy could do that job with one hand behind his back!
