Maverick Lobo 402A Velocity Blue

[Chops]

Deets on the gloss black spoiler?
Did you buy it that way? Or custom paint it?

I only want a spoiler if its gloss black to match the gloss black Lobo roof.
I think the 'plastic' look doesn't fit the Lobo well, personally.
Its probably fine on all the other Mavericks, with as much matte plastic as they have.

I prefer a satin or matte on a Lobo roof spoiler. Ties in with the matte plastic trim around the intercooler/foglights, side vent, tailgate trim, roof trim, mirrors, tailgate step, etc. I do like the gloss black “cow catcher” grille though! I can make do with the gloss black roof - but if I had a choice I would have picked matte black.

it comes painted satin; i took it to a local painter and had them paint it gloss black. It seems like you can special order from air design, painted:

I too wanted it gloss black to flow better with the roof .

Thats my concern, a sloppy/softer feel, with 'play'/squish added from adhesive interface.
I'll probably never get the mechanical feel I'm really looking for, but also don't want to make it feel worse.
I'll maybe mock it up with only set screws if its secure enough to trial. Not that having one fall off is all that detrimental in this scenario, where the Paddles aren't even a requirement to function. But also don't want to mark/scratch up the stock plastic if I can avoid it. I wonder if we'll see aftermarket paddles that replace the whole stock plastic lever? Is that a thing?

I used the supplied screws, "+" works exactly like factory, "-" needs to be adjusted to work better. guess it all depends on the way it's applied. Maybe i'll removed the screws to see if that fixes my issue.

Looks better than HOLES in the front bumper, but blocks a lot more air flow to the IC (which I suspect is already lacking in its cooling capacity).
Both are about equally as bad. lol

I was initially worried about this too, but it doesn't seem like there wasn't enough blocked airflow to cause any performance decreases. These trucks can't get any slower.

Actually like the extended paddle shifters.
Not a big fan of the turbofan rims .
