custom front spoiler
I was thinking of putting a new front spoiler on my car. Something different maybe. Like this one sold by Ecklers:
Do you all know of any other vendors that sell custom front spoilers? Or do you guys think I should stick with the original 3-piece style?

Re: custom front spoiler (corvettemaster)
My favorite part of the 80-82 front end is the way the nose hangs out in front of the spoiler, the side profile is one of the coolest automotive designs I can think of. So, I would vote no on the Ecklers spoiler. I am open minded and usually like custom stuff, but it would have to go back farther under the nose like the stock spoiler...

Re: custom front spoiler (Rhys)
I think that the spoiler you pictured above would look good along with some ground effects on the sides, or a little custom spoiler on the back, but by itself, I am thinking it would look kind of "added on desperate attempt at custom". I mean, with a mean looking aerodynamic front spoiler like that, I think it should have a cool rear spoiler to go along with it. Let us know what you decide, both the stock spoiler and the one pictured above are really cool. :cool:

Most of the catalogs like Corvette Central carry the same kit. Find the lowest price and the hold Ecklers to their claim of 1% off other peoples prices :yesnod: I like the look but I agree with the others. You need to

Re: custom front spoiler (corvettemaster)
I have the complete kit on mine....however I installed a 550 lb sping up front and 17" rims....so the car sits perfect....you still have to be careful around drive ways and dips.....go slow, and at an angle....if you slam it in there, the nose will dip in, and nip the spoiler edge....You will also have to install sheet aluminum at the lower scoop to make the air go up towards the radiator....otherwise it will shoot straight pass under the engine without passing through the radiator...you'll have hot engine during high speed runs. My car runs at very low temps with A/C on full blast. :seeya Cappy
