Air Dam Spoiler Idea

Has anyone ever tried mounting a front spoiler from a 67 camaro in place of the air dam on our cars? I'm goning to try an photo shop one onto my car.. but I have yet to find a good picture angle to use. But I think it may work better than what we use now.. and it's still for a camaro.


Does anyone have any opinons on this.. would it work any better.. ? move more air? provide a better ground effect to hold the car on the road?

How about screwing a big chunk of metal across it...

Can't really do that with mine. I dont't have the broad one like yours does. wanted to stick with a plastic one, a little more forgiving, and doesn't stay bent either.

Ive seen one that was a 1/4 section of a piece of like 6" plastic tube. it was about a foot wider then the stock air dam. Over all it didnt look to bad, and it looked like it would grab a whole lot more air.
