Default Front Lip Spoiler

Looking at the following:

http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com...CHIN_SPOILERS/

Leaning towards the Classic style and was wondering how much this lowers the bumper clearance to ground?


Thanks

If I remember correctly on a non lowered car with the classic chin spoiler you have around 5" of clearance.

Can someone confirm the 5 inch clearance; this might be too low for my driving habits. This is a stock, non lowered GT.

See bottom pic: http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com...splay/643.html



Thanks

Ok, that’s much better! Painted or Un Painted and those that have purchased, what’s the best price out there? I like the way the unpainted breaks it up if that makes any sense?

Partshopper has it for $219 and free shipping....for un painted.

Thanks,

I just ordered it through part shopper last week after looking all over the internet. Seems like most places have it at the same price give or take 5 dollars and they all end up having it shipped from cdc anyways. I ordered the classic style and had it painted so it'll come as the textured black. When you say broken up do you mean you're looking for contrast between the black and the tungsten color of the car?

thanks,

They have free shipping but then they ad a $8 "handling fee"! Anyone notice how they don't show what the difference is between painted and unpainted spoilers?
Anyone have photos of either one? I can't believe how so many retailers do such a poor job of showing us their product!

Unpainted is a flesh-tone colored urethane that will need to be painted - "painted" means black. From the site:

Chin Spoilers are offered painted or unpainted. The painted finish is a textured black.
All the ones they show on the site are "painted."

The CDC website has an instruction manual that have closeups of the chin spoiler.

Yes, contrast was the work I was looking for! Just picked it up from cal-mustang.com $225. Now I have to wait for all the rain/damp weather to quit, so I can paint it.
