1992 Front Spoiler ??
Hi,
I´m posting this for a friend of mine who needs help..
Some years ago he owned a 1992 C4 with a front spoiler.
He sold the car and is owner of a 1995 C4 now.
He´s looking for the exactly front spoiler he had years ago.
Has anybody an idea what brand (manufacturer) this spoiler is ?
It should be a spoiler mounted in front of the stock front lip.
Hope anybody has an idea and could help finding this spoiler.
Some pics :
Thanks Uli

I wouldn't expect to either....
I somehow suspect that it is NOT a full Corvette "kit"...more of pieces from one thing or another. The side pieces are NOT "full ground effect" as all others. They do not run the length of the rocker panel, which is normal for any "full kit" to do.
The turned up Lip on the spoiler....does what? directs air flow away from the nose, to where?
This could simply be somebodies custom design. OR pieces from a C3...

Yeah, Prowler also had the center "rib" that stood vertical in the middle of the gap at the center of the spoiler...
That was the 1st thing that came to mind, but that wing-thing caused me to forget that pretty quick...

That's not an M1 Prowler either. I had one (and it's pictured in my avatar). I can all but guarantee that's not made anymore -- and probably not for over 10 years.
The M1 WOULD have been a great choice but it's also gone.
I'm surprised no one has pointed this thread to the American Hydrocarbon model recently developed. It's $400ish but fairly similar. As for the winglets, do a search on fleabay for 96 Corvette front air dam. You'll see a BMW set (I think) which could be grafted for a similar effect.
I doubt most Corvette owners would be impressed by the little extra wings though.
