Default Spoiler Deciding Help

I like the look of the pace car style front spoiler...can someone tell me the pros/cons of getting the 3pc vs the 1pc other than the cost?
Also if you have pics of either on a early 70's car that would be great.

I would think that with the varying quality/fit of aftermarket parts, that the 3-piece would be easier to attach. If the 1-piece one doesn't fit you're pretty much screwed unless you want to hack it up to make it fit.

There are a few on ebay with the pace car spoiler, a couple 78/79s

one 74, one 73.

I really like the look, and will be buying the 3-piece one soon, and I too would like to hear from someone who has tried one or both.

I hope you're not the person I keep bidding against on the ones I see on ebay!! Last one went up to near what a brand new one costs.

Here's one I stopped bidding on at 100 bucks:

I went with the one piece, from vanacor, and the fit was good. It is on a 78, so not a early year.

Since mine is the PC I went back with the 3 piece. You have to have the fiberglass valence to bolt to, not sure if that is needed with the one piece or not. $60 for that part.
