Default Front spoiler

Okay, is there any difference between the front spoilers distributed by Mid America (the ones made by ACI) and the ones made by Vanacor? The Vanacor one looks like it has slightly pointier edges, but it's hard to tell...here are the pics:

These aren't stock spoilers. One for 203 and the other 95....quite a difference. I wonder how the fit is on the 95 unit? I got mine from Ecklers and it required no trimming and fit right outta the box.

Where did you get 203 from? This is $149.99 vs $95.00...given that Vanacor's L-88 hood is only $425 and apparently fits every bit as well and is every bit as good quality as ACI's $599.99 hood, the price difference isn't that surprising. There's a fine line between cheap junk and a good deal, and this definitely seems to be the latter, judging from what I've heard about Vanacor's hood...

Looked for threads on Vanacor...only found one or two bad reports and numerous good ones, so I'm confident in their pieces.

Anyone with an answer to the original question?

I bought the one piece Indy for the 78 from Vanacor, and was happy with the fit, and finish.

I can't answer your question though, since I have never seen one from ACI
