Default Chin spoilers....hmmm.

Wonder if a chin spoiler would throw off the look of my vert? I'm kind of concerned about how much ground clearance I would lose too. Any comments?

Not a big fan of chin spoilers myself. It's hard enough not to scrape the underside of the front bumper at stock height when you're parking in a parking spot with a wheel bumper or up against a side walk.

Besides. IMO most cars that just have a chin spoiler hanging off the front lip (without the rest of the skirts around the sides and rear of the car) look like a kid with a fat lower lip...

I think the gt500 chin is a good look on our verts. When i go to buy one i will be getting this one. It is good for ground clearance.

I think it would compliment your car very nicely. If I didn't need tires I'd pick up CDC classic this weekend

Ground clearance? Well I guess it depends on if your car is lowered and how the roads are where you are. A lot of people have chins so I don't think it would be much of a problem

I say go for it!

A chin spoiler will "set-off" the look of your car if anything! ground clearance hasnt been an issue for me at all with my CDC aggressive or when i had the classic chin. just have to watch out for parking curbs and steep driveways.. id say go for it.

GT500 and CS/GT are the exception for me. I would put either of those on my front end

I personally like chin spoilers and feel they add an aggressive look to the front.
Yeah, my stang a has a lower fat lip! LOL
As you may already be aware, I recently had Eibach Pro-kit installed and have no issues with clearance while driving. However, I am more careful around curbs/parking blocks/side walks and etc.

The CDC classic doesn't loose much ground clearance. It does stick out further than the lowest point, but not by much. The 3d carbon front lips are both good choices also that don't take up much space. Now, the CDC aggressive takes up considerable more clearance.

I often think the same thing and have been tossing the idea round myself. But I think if you were to get it painted it gives it a pretty good look. I wouldn't worry too much about the ground clearance because your really not going to lose too much. Unless you lowered the car then there shouldn't be any problems it gives the car added ground effects with an aggressive look.
