This one looks good. Does it come with the cutouts for the bumpers?
I am not sure if I like this look. Not crazy about the way it wraps around the sides by the parking lights.
I would really like to see more pics of this at different angles.

Saw it at a car show didn't get any more pics but I know there are members on here that have it. Maybe they will post. It also looked like it might work. Looked good in person

If any forum member has installed the Eckler"s front spoiler on their car I Would love to see a couple of pics.
All the cars look great with the front spoilers. Dynamic corvette makes both carbon fiber and regular fiberglass spoilers. Two sizes are available and they fit quite well. Check out their website. Don’t make the task to difficult.
Read Tom Austin's Thread that he linked in an earlier post. Guys have reported better handling at freeway speeds.
I had asked the same question in that thread as well. No one reported anything over 70 mph.
I would not be interested in adding it just for looks. Not that I am a top end junkie anymore like I used to be but when I do occasionally jump over triple digits I like the car to be able solid as possible with the least visual impact.
I didn't report anything over 70 mph because I rarely drive any faster than that! Highest speed limit around here is 70 - I typically see the cruise @ 75 - that's @ my limit! I'm on the process of adding VA - I think the spoilers may help keep engine temps down a little!

I picked it up from post #22 on Tom's thread. However, the guy also had a rear spoiler.

I don't run a plastic front spoiler, but I have run a steel air dam for over 30 years. The air dam is 6" tall, a fabricated 1.5" x 6" sheet metal angle (20 gauge) screwed to the steel lower radiator support just behind where the lower valance fiberglass ends. It sits nearly even with the plain established between the leading edge of the tire tread radius. Most casual observers do not notice it. It helps to prevent recirculation of hot radiator air under the car, and it does work to keep the front end stable at speed. I have only tested it to about 140 mph, 7000 rpm with 4.11 gears, for extended distances over a flying mile, and it helps the handling with any speed above about 100 mph.

I always liked having an air dam. I routinely drive 80/85mph in my vette. Feels very stable, more so than when I didn't have the spoiler. Also, put one on my 240z (when I had it} and that made a huge difference. Plus, I like the looks. Merry Christmas all.

What is the difference between an air damn and a spoiler?

An effective air dam is taller than the typical spoiler and usually has no center crease. An air dam just builds a high pressure pocket in front of it to prevent airflow under the chassis, a spoiler is shaped to direct air to the sides. An issue with both is the potential to block cooling airflow to the brakes, and why most spoilers are short to allow spilling air under the full width of the car, and why my air dam is not full width to spill air on the sides and direct it to the brakes.
A race air dam with a horizontal splitter needs openings and ducting for brake cooling (look at an IMSA or NASCAR race car).

So does the high pressure it creates effect the power/speed of the car substantially or no?
This is a great look I too would love to see more.
