Front Spoiler

Good evening Fighter Pilots...

Does anyone have pictures of a Stingray with a front spoiler in place?
I am planning my car and I remember seeing a white c3 with a black spoiler on the front. It looked cool.

Thanks for your help.

I have been rec. it for all performance 68-79. I put factory 3 piece on as soon as possible, so early that the paint matches & it appears original.

A white 78-79 pic. from front would work too.

There are a few threads on spoilers, I started one a couple of months ago but I can't locate the link at the moment, as I recall there are plenty of photos.

Here is a picture of my '77 with a satin black '79 pace car spoiler. I used Trim Black paint on it to make touching it up easy, as it's also my autoslalom 'cone catcher'.

the thing i noticed different about my car is that the front black spoiler, when paired to a white car like 7t2vette's,does not show up in bright sun.it appears as a shaded area and changes the look of the car.

after viewing other cars with pace car spoilers i realized that mine was hardly noticeable.i kinda like it that way as i feel they don't help the looks of the car in any way.

Your right...I barely noticed it...it does kinda look like a shadow.

Kinda cool tho...I like subtle mods

Isn't there also a 3 piece spoiler? If so I haven't seen it posted.

Are most of these pace car spoilers?

I was more concerned with the frontal drag of the tires... They needed to be faired over... And at 100+mph the front started lifting.... so I've been told... Needed to stop that.... So I've been told... Never done that myself of course ....

Yep, that's the one.
Is it painted satin or unpainted?
Do you have a side profile pic?
Where did you get it and what model is it?

How do you think this would look on a 76?

It isn't painted, I had it custom made out of carbon fiber. It is a copy of the Pace Car spoiler that Ecklers makes to fit 68-72 Corvettes

Just kidding!!

It is actually wrapped with a 3M product called Di-Noc that looks and feels like carbon fiber. It fools everyone, that Di-Noc is pretty cool stuff!!
