front spoiler question
my 79 it has a rear spoiler, but the front was missing (if it was ever there) i was wondering if the front spoiler helps enough in the high speed areas to justify buying a new one? know where to get them cheap?

Re: front spoiler question (nicecurves79)
The Indy ft. spoiler sweeps the airflow around the front tires, cleans up airflow underneath & scoops up air for cooling.
Rec. for all 68-79 ! I put mine on as soon as possible, so early that the paint matches & it appears original.
:cool:

They look like cosmetic items but the Corvette Black Book states that the spoilers were functional, providing a 15% decrease on drag and a 1/2 MPG increase.
