May be a REALLY stupid question
but i was washing my car the other day and while admiring it, i looked underneath and noticed this little black thing under the front fender of my car. i'm honestly not sure what it is. i've heard some talk of a chin spoiler and was wondering if thats what it was and if it came standard on 05 because i didnt pay extra for it. yea i've had my car since december of 05 and i'm just NOW realizing this.
i wish i could take a pic of it to show you guys what i'm talking about but my cam's memory is full and i dont know where my damn USB cable is [:@]

RE: May be a REALLY stupid question
I'm going to assume you mean under the front bumper.
All of 1"of black plastic around the front end.
It's the lamest excuse for a "stock" spoiler I've seen.

RE: May be a REALLY stupid question
Don't feel too bad about not noticing it - there's just something about the underside of the car that prevent most people in clean clothesfrom looking at it in detail.
I remember that my 94 GT had one of those - served as a "curb feeler" most of the time, until it finally broke off....

Sometimes it is also referred to as an air dam.

Sometimes it is also referred to as an air dam.But this stock thing we got? Come on. For another $2 they could have made it 2" wide...
Maybe 3" with serrated teeth...
Reinforce with carbon fiber...
Make it out of metal...
