Default Air deflector L x W ?

I am thinking about using a C7 air deflector for a modified C3 project. Does anyone know the length and width of this deflector?

Yes, it goes under the car ahead of the radiator.

One web site calls it the "C7 Corvette Stingray 2014+ Front Bumper Lower Center Air Defelector," and says, "Add to your lower bumper with this center air deflector on your 2014+ C7 Corvette."

I own a C3, not a C7, so I can only go by what I read. It sounds like it's a take-off part when someone adds a "Front Splitter/Chin Spoiler".

No problem. I'll probably just fabricate my own from carbon fiber or aluminum sheet.

Thanks.

It's 33.25"w x 11.5"h on the sides and 16"h on the middle apex. My cars up in the air right now.

Default Close, but not wide enough.

Thank you for measuring, Rooster.

Front-back 16" is just right, but the 33.25" side-side is about 6" too narrow for a C3. It still might work.

Thanks again.
