I believe the original one was meant to direct air into the rad, if you have the pace car spoiler it acts as the same thing, so you don't need an additional one.

You do not need the small one when you have the pace car spoiler.

Re: little front spoiler questions... (SIGNGUY)
i think you'll be fine if you have the same spoilers like justin. i can tell you from personal experience how bad things can get if you don't have something down there to deflect the air into the radiator. i removed my lower dam last week to fab a new one. (you can see the giant hole ground into the point of mine in the picture below. that happened when i folded it under the car at buttonwillow :bb ) i had to make a quick trip in town, only about 15 miles total. when i got back my temp was up to about 250+!!!! fortunately, i don't think i hurt the car but i have since, fabbed and installed a new one out of sheetmetal.

Re: little front spoiler questions... (clutchdust)
You got to hate it when your spoiler is too small to be functional. Besides, too small and no one even wants to look at it either .......

It's not the size that matters; it's how you use it. Make sure it's angled right and it'll be as effective as a big one (I know... not very helpful advice but I just had to get that pun in there :lol: )
