Sorry for the confusion. I meant after market. I have seen a few posted. Indy spoiler and Daytona. They look different and I was hoping to see a few of each installed.

Default Here's an option..

I used a piece of flat, smooth 1/4" conveyor belt material to make one that looks more like the aluminum ones used on the LeMans '68's. It's 4" wide and tapered in toward the lower edge at the ends, and it bolts up to the same location as the little 1" plastic one. I did it for cooling purposes when I run the A/C here in NorCal, but I think it looks great. I don't have a real good shot of it (there's a long shot on my web site), but I could get one if you like.

Somewhere in here this morning there was a link to a nice looking yellow C3 with ground efects on it, not the one on Buyavette, anyone got any idea where it is? Or a source for ground efects?
