Default Front spoiler options?

Any suggestions for replacement front spoiler / airdam? Are there any one piece parts out there that someone has tried and liked? Pics would be great. Thanks.

Prowler spolier, I love it, thicker than stock with brake duct holes

I also like the Prowler spoiler. It's a heavy duty spoiler that actually accelerates the air into the radiator/condensor. But I like it because it looks nice.

You install it just like the stock spoilers, same bolts. You just have to paint it and install it.

found it at ecklers for 180.00

1991-96 M1 Prowler Front Spoiler
Part# 28775


$179.99 EA.


Qty:
In Stock


Uses Original Hardware

One-Piece Replacement


The M-1 Prowler front spoiler is a one-piece replacement for the original three-piece spoiler. The Prowler is made of impact resistant polyurethane and is much stronger than the stock unit. It also has a different contour with an increased air pitch angle for improved radiator air volume along with disc brake cooling vents. It simply bolts on using your original holes and fasteners with absolutely no modifications required to your Corvette. The spoiler is ready to sand, prime and paint.

did you all notice any difference in cooling with the prowler?

I guess mine's called the Prowler also but don't remember it being called anything a couple years ago when I bought and installed it. I combined it with the Big Mouth air dam when that came out on the market.

I've never had a problem with cooling as I added an aftermarket chip that turns the main fan on 200 degrees and I added an on/off switch to the auxillary fan (in front of the radiator) and I run it all the time during the Florida summer.

Well, I don't have any cooling problems, but I run a Meziere HD electric coolant pump and a 180 stat with manual control of both fans if I want. One painting note, be sure to remove the release residue from the spoiler before you start the paint process or it will fish eye on you.
