Front 1-piece spoiler, yes or no?
I have a brand new 1-piece spoiler that's been hanging in the garage for about 2 years. Getting ready to install it or sell it...Any input regarding "pros and cons" would be appreciated! :cheers: :flag

Haven't seen you around in a while.
Allan71 took some pics of a killer yellow '71 502 Vette at Carlisle while he was still on the forum. It had the front spoiler and an L-88 hood, it looked awesome. I was planning on adding one when I get to the "body" portion of my attention. It's going to be a PIA for me though, I already tried to remove the black plastic spoiler but most of the bolts were rusted solid and were starting to twist the two nurf-type chrome bars. :eek:
Definitely on my to-do list.

If it's like the Indy ft. spoiler, add since it scoops up air for cooling & sweeps the airflow around the front tires. Rec.!

With your already low profile :thumbs: I think it would look great. There is no question about the functional value. I bought a new one from a forum member that has the ports for brake cooling but when I put it on, I was unhappy with the lines. Sooooooooooo, since I like doing everything the hard way :banghead: I decided to customize it. It turned into major surgery but I think it will be awesome when complete (Passenger side is done now). It is definately a one off spoiler now. :D

I think it will look really nice. I saw a 72 at a show that had one on and it fits the car really well.

I would install it. A front air dam will make your already awesome looking car even better but you really need to post a lot of pictures of it. I can't get enough of black chrome bumper vettes.
