Looks awesome, but I'm a little partial. If you aren't used to it being lowered watch out. Even a little lowering and I hit EVERYTHING! I can't imagine adding a spoiler!

I'm somewhat used to it, my previous f-body had a front spoiler (granted the Vette is lower), and I've been careful enough lately, haven't even scraped the underbody spoiler since the lowering. We'll see how it works out

Thanks all!
