Front Spoiler
I think that I want one. I am considering the Ecklers LT1 mini front spoiler :

Nothing too big or too low. I would appreciate any recommendations.

I have the ACI chin spoiler. I got mine through ZIP products but other vendors sell them. It can scrape if I'm not careful but I love it.

Both the one in Ecklers and the ACI front spoiler look good IMO. Just remember that the front end clearance will be reduced.

Guess I'll just have to wait until the next cruise-in and see if I can come up with anything by then.

Thanks for all the replies and all of the cars look great. I don't have a real concern about driving on the street but I can see that I would need to avoid many parking lots with the taller speed bumps.

I have the same one as Stuart. It's made by ACI.
You DO have to be careful especially if your car is lowered.
BUT they look great!

You really have to be careful with the ACI spoiler. Believe it or not it does NOT hang as low as the 3 piece OEM black plastic spoilers on the C5 BUT it is out ahead of them by 13".
It's an inch higher but gets to your driveway for instance 13" sooner than the other spoilers do and 33" before your tires get there to start raisining the car up the driveway slope.. Driveways entrances can be tricky.
That is something to think about.

I'd love to have one, but I'd crunch inside a week!!
