Who makes the closest to the original, best fitting front spoiler to mate with a steel lower valence. I understand that original and best fitting may be contradictory but I cracked the peak last year and a couple of the tabs are also broken so thinking its time to replace rather than repair. I assume they all need some massaging to fit properly but appreciate thoughts/recommendations. Many thanks.

Am I stating the obvious by saying wait until you find a NOS original GM part?

[frank2w87]

I was thinking about waiting for an NOS part but also question how well a part will fit that was in someone's hot attic for 50 years.

[Transamric]

Good point and probably happens more often than not. However I'd say it's a guarantee that you'll have to spend perhaps a bunch of time getting a repop to fit the way you'd like.

The repro '70-73 T/A front spoilers reproduced in '95 or 96 were dead on. A good friend was instrumental at getting them reproduced. Several longtime collectors/vendors who are PY members bought at least ten. I bought and sold several of them, & put one as well as an NOS one away for my '72 & '73. The only issue I ever heard back on that initial production run of white molded T/A plastic front spoilers is occasionally out of the box one needed to add a little glue on an end. Have no idea after those first 1000 repro front spoilers who had more of them made, if they were off the same injection molds, etc.

I bought a couple of these and as you said, they worked well. One I painted Lucy for my '72 before I sold it to rust in New Scotland.
The other I sold only a few years ago.
I think its best to first find a good steel panel and work at making a repop fit that before proceeding to car unless you have a lift.
Good luck, it can be done!

ALL the GM ones I have ever seen were white, and the early run of repops were all white too.
We replaced a few at my dealership, and one owner bought a spare on the spot when he picked up his car.
my 2 cents

[Norwood]

They definitely were molded in color just like the wheel spoilers

I’m in need of a front drivers side spoiler for my 70 TA. Mine is badly cracked and pretty much beyond repair. I’m sure many of you have piles of them sitting in storage but aren’t ready to part with them. lol. Anyway, are the reproduction pieces currently available any good? (like the one below)

Btw if anyone wants to be kind enough to sell me a front drivers side spoiler I’d be very appreciative

Pretty sure I have a picture of those somewhere...

Edit: Yep, I do, on the hood of the 69 outside of your office.

I’d like to place my order for the fronts for my 71 4 speed that doesn’t have any at all currently……🙃

[Ramairnacho]

I have a 78 w 72 4 speed and had it painted . I bought the ribbed gasket material for the spoilers but they where grey not correct. I then ordered black . I will get you vendors info if needed. My replacement ones that came with extra parts are year one

Has anyone tried this 70-73 kit from OER?
