Spoiler broke tonight **PICS**

Tonight the weirdest thing happened, my spoiler on my 95 atx just broke in half. :shrug: I washed my car earlier in the afternoon and since it was pretty cold out today some of the water froze to the car. Well anyways, about an hour later, as I was leaving my apartment going about 35mph I heard a loud noise. :omg: When I turned around I seen half my spoiler laying on the road.

I pulled over, got out and went to see what happened. It was almost as if someone tried to pull it off because the attachments underneath the spoiler were all still intact. So later on I took off the other half and took out all the bolts that were still in place.

Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this? It seems to me like its the weirdest thing that can happen. :shrug:

That is weird.. Its possible the water could have gotten into where the studs go into the fiberglass, and frozen.. BUT that doesnt explain it breaking in half! :eek:
On a side note, I have a green spoiler available if you do need one. :bonk: email me at [email protected]

The larger chunk of the spoiler is the part that flew off the car. Yet the 3rd brake light managed to stay in good condition. I dont know what to say...

There are a total of 6x 8mm nuts that attach said spoiler to the trunk, IIRC. What happened to the other 4?
