Default Lambo spoiler

Saw this online and think it looks pretty bad a$$.

Anyone know where one could purchase an aftermarket Lambo spoiler? I assume this came off of a Countach.

Sorry, I'd have to say that I would leave the last word of the first sentence of your post off, but to each his own, and don't let my opinion discourage you if that's what you want! If that were what I really wanted, I'd be looking for an aftermarket equivlalent. I'm sure anything authentic Lamborghini would be BIG bucks!

When I looked at the pic, I laughed so hard, I almost pissed my pants! Thank you, it's been a rough day, and it felt good to have a good, long belly laugh!

I am assuming the post is sarcastic, but just in case you are serious, I remember reading, long time ago, back in the '80s must have been, that a Lamoborgini Countash rear spoiler cost 5000 bucks. Probably closer to 20 grand, nowadays.


Keep the shiny side up!

Take off the sidepipes...add two fart can mufflers out the back and your good to go...

Remember: If your exhaust outlet is bigger than your cylinder bore....your driving a ricer.....

And if that wing actually worked, can you imagine how bad the balance of the car would be knowing that C-3's are know for front end lift. I also have to laugh when I see the front drive ricer cars with big rear wings and nothing in the front to keep it down where traction and downforce are actually needed.

Personally I'd be embarrassed to drive that thing.

BTW, I also remember reading that the Lambo spoiler was a $5,000 option, and it dropped the top speed of the car by 5 mph.

When I first got my C3, my DD was a Honda Civic Si (totally stock....promise). That car's been replaced, but I remember getting more responses from young males when I drove it than my Vette. If they came up to me at a gas station, etc, they were more apt to ask questions/give comments about the import than the C3. Inevitably, the conversation always resorted to the fact that the car was still stock..........they all couldn't believe how I could be satisfied with the car "as is". Hopefully this isn't the norm for todays youth........but even my nephews, to this day, still comment on that car at family gatherings.....even when the C3 is parked in front of them!!!!

The antenna is on the wrong side, too, so it's probably just a flipped image. Back when we had film cameras, it was called a "flipped negative". Also, they drive on the right side of the road in Europe, except the U.K..

I would also be embarrassed to drive that car. In my own opinion it is an abomination of a Vette. Words really fail me because that is just plain nasty looking. To each his own I guess.
