Body Mods

what kind of body mods/ replacements are out there that can make my 69 javelin stand out?

Keep in mind your Javelin will stand out in any crowd simply because it's a Javelin and not a Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Cuda, etc. But if I were to modify a 69 Javelin to really make a visual statement I'd either go with the Mod Pack option or build a Kaplan Trans-Am race car clone.
Fiberglass front, rear and roof spoilers along with fenders, hoods, trunk lids, bumpers, doors and hood scoops can be found at Frank's Custom Fiberglass in PA.

Your Javelin WILL stand out no matter what you do. Go to any local show and count how many AMCs you see there. At the shows I go to, if my brother and I don't bring our cars then it is zero. So, you don't have to put anything on the car to make it stand out, especially a ricer wing. Not to be a hypocrite, I did make some mods to my car. Go to http://www.amx-perience.com/AMCgalle...to=270&cat=500
and see the car. I added a wing that was bought out of a JC Whitney catalog in the 70's, louvers, Mod hood scoops, a 1970 TA front chin spoiler, and Javelin Reproductions Trendsetters (side exhaust). And to tell the truth, I get more comments on the exhaust than anything.

pretty nice. im lookin at some trendsetters i saw in southtexasamc's website. are those the same thing? im diggin the rear window shade kinda thing. can you gimme some info on where you got it? the spoiler is like what i want. i just want it off the trunk to look and act a little racier. im planning on going to an amx hood with a scoop and paintind the whole car (including rusty chrome bumpers) black.

I believe they are the same. I don't know anybody else reproducing Trendsetters except Javelin Reproductions.

AMC had a wing type spoiler in 1968 and 1969 that were used in Trans-Am racing and were available as a dealer option. It's commonly referred to as a Kaplan Spoiler. Some folks like the looks of the Donohue spoiler that came out in 1970 on 68-69's. Both are available as a reproduction. You can see them in the Trans-Am racing section of this website. Or shop around and find something you like as bigbad68 did.

I don't know if Frank's has a catalog.
