Exactly! I think the original is a solid piece. It is molded from molten
plastic injected to mold. It is coled, then ejected as the solid piece.
This is an expensive process, but the pieces are strong.
A blow molded piece is made like a plastic bag. The plastic film is
pressureized up against a mold. It is hollow and I think weaker, but I
don't know. I was hoping somebody on the list had a strong opinion and
owult give me the benefit of it.

Not sure I know the difference between blow and injection
molding.
The names imply one is hollow, and the other is solid, but maybe
not?
How could I tell the difference?

I bought a re-pop chin spoiler. I was surprised to see that it is blow
molded, where I think the originals were injection molded?
All all the re-pop spoilers this way? Is the blow molded spoiler strong
enough to to avoid deformation at speed?
