Default Couldn't stand to look at it anymore...

So out came the cutting wheel and a little bit of "Flex seal" rubberized spray to fix the improper fit and also to cover the extrusion swirls from the plastic being injected in the molds. It didn't fit or look right as pics I have posted previously of this chin spoiler.

Thanks, I just used the 7 mounting holes and cut off the parts that mount to the radiator support. Hopefully it doesn't compromise the strength of the spoiler. It feels pretty solid but only time will tell.

Default 70 GTO front chin spoiler

I was at Carlisle this past week and spoke with Chris Casperson and he mention that a company out in Indiana makes the front chin spoiler. At this time Chris has no plans to make a new one to compete with them. Ames gets the front chin spoiler from the same company so unless Ames is willing to work with them this issue with the chin spoiler will remain unchanged.
