Default Pace car spoiler

Just picked up a pace car style spoiler off craigslist for $50.00. The seller said it was for a 73 - 77. When i saw it i knew it was for a 68-72. The seller said i was wrong. Any way i was right. My question is has anyone modified their spoiler where the sides don't go up the fender wheel well and is kept under the nose to where it just starts to go up the wheel. I thought I'd ask before it goes under the knife. If not then I'll post a photo when I'm done.

There were no pace car spoilers for Corvettes until '78. They became an option on all '79 Corvettes.

Aftermarket suppliers offer a 68 to 72 Indy style spoiler and also a 73 to 79 3 piece pace car style spoiler, the key word there is "style" The three peice spoiler can be cut and formed to not go up the wheel well I am sure someone has done that. The Indy style one piece is alot smaller on the sides and may be easier. Not sure which one you have. But Someone will probably post some pics for you. It looks to me in your avatar, that you have one on that car. The one you are showing from Ecklers I believe is called the Indy style. But I might be wrong.
