Default Front spoiler

in my thermostat post talking about operating temps, the discussion came up about the front chin spoiler. Turns out I have none.
Just a big gapping hole under the car in front of the radiator.

so, I do not want the exaggerated chin like the anniversary edition. I want the black oe style. I see all kinds when I look and sites don’t seem to show the installed pic so not sure what to get.
any help?

I was in the same boat as you, missing the lip and the bottom fiberglass lip that extends beyond the front grill area at the bottom. I ordered the stock lip which is the really skinny black piece and then I got the extended front lip which is from the performance variant, I cant remember if its called L88 or something else.

They will not bolt up since that bottom piece is missing on my car, they will have to be glassed in.

Yes that black piece is the factory lip which is bolted to the car, the fibreglass of the fenders extends below the chrome of the grill and that's where the factory lip is bolted. Is your car missing just the black lip portion or the part of the body that it bolts to as well?

Order a stock reproduction. The AIM shows how it installs.
