Default Who makes this front spoiler?

I saw this front spoiler at Carlisle today.

Owner didn't remember where he purchased it 15 years ago.

Anyone know who makes it?

Thanks.

They probably stopped making them 15 years ago. And with good reason. If you run over a fly on the road with that thing, its going to get ripped right off the car. I saw that car there too and thought it looked like a Pep Boys accessory part.

Yeah, look at his signature guys.
Has a pretty good splitter on it, would definitely help on track.
I don't recognize it though.

Looks like 30 lbs. of ballast that is 1 speed bump or pot hole from needing a ne set of front panels. It reminds me of a wing I had ages ago on a 87 Fiero GT cute little underpowered car. I took it out in the rain and at 70 there were water drops dripping off the underside of the 'wing/ballast'.

More useless information!

First of, I didn't ask for an opinion of the spoiler. I ask if anyone knew who made it. I can't believe I'm actually trying to communicate with someone that can't read!

Sounds like you should get a life and not center it around a forum.

You're probably are too stupid, remember tough skin, to notice that someone liked my comment about useless information. The majority of the forum users feel the same.

Eat your hot pocket and ask your mom, she'll explain it to you, remember thick skin.

People are laughing at you.

If you have something else to say. IM me and I'll tell you how i really feel.

Uh Oh a binky alert... If you go to any forum anywhere and offer a pic and expect no opinions you are kidding yourself and no one else's fault. You got your answer and someone else did your homework that you could have done yourself. Yet you hate the delivery of your homework. As SGT. Gunny would say 'grow a set' you got what you wanted for free. Easiest way to get ignored is to trash people to be a waste of your valuable time doing things to solve your problem.

I used to have the M1 spoiler...which I thought was perfect, but they don't make it anymore. I've been w/o one over a year (since the overpriced debacle we saw here last year).


Counter point...I wonder how that one in the OP lasted for 15 years! He must not drive it much! Or...it's not as bad as reviewed here.

BTW...To the OP: Corvette guys REALLY don't like "dressing up" a Corvette much. It is what it is. If you try to fight that battle, you WILL end up looking like the guy in your cartoon.

Buddy, you really need some serious help. Keep these ridiculous and childish comments coming and you'll be sure to get this post locked and maybe yourself banned from this forum. USMC? Hard to believe. The only Marines I know are extremely intellegent and are definitely "Tough Skinned". Maybe you missed that part.

Thanks I'll check it out.

I thought the same thing, how'd he drove it for 15 years and it still looks new.

Thanks again.

I haven't' done anything wrong to get ban. I'll get locked out of a thread that I started and you can just stop posting. THIS IS MY THREAD!

You posted a and I responded. You started it and now you're getting your feeling hurt.

I appreciated if you'd take this off line and stay out of any post that I start. But you're so emotions you can't. You have to have the last word.

BTW, people that get ban just login with a new email address. DUH!

Can an administrator please ask this guy to stop posting in my thread. Thank you.

What is childish are the assumptions that people made and then knocked it based on those assumptions. Perhaps you should just go on about your life and NOT make any comments. He is not interested in using it for street use. Besides, its really poor taste to knock something when someone asked about it. Just because YOU don't like it there's no need to poo poo someone else's idea or question. Idiot comments like that are what is ridiculous on this forum.
