Recently bought 85 coupe. everything is great except damage to the front spoiler. i know it is easy to replace the center section of the spoiler, but the fixture it attaches to was also broken. i am having difficulty locating this part.HELP.

Yes buy a new Z51 (Deeper) spoiler , they look so nice when new , you have to be extra careful since it might rub on some road bumps, but nothing major.-

You know what , it's amazing that sometimes little details like this
makes the car look so good, i love the flat black finish on the spoiler
i spray it from time to time with tire spray foam and make it look new again !
Get in touch with Mike at indy-motorwerks , those guys are the best!
i have bought from him many times , perfect fit !
