my custom front chin spoiler project
ive done a few custom projects on my 89 rs (hood, dash pad), and figured i mine as well make my own chin spoiler. i pcked up a 91 rs chin spoiler and decided to use that one because of the side scoops to match my side skirts. heres a few pics of what ive done.

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
looks good. what are your plans for the rest of the chin spoiler. i see you made the filler panels on the inside where you cut it lower than the rest of your spoiler. do plan to stretch your chin spoiler down as well

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
hard to see in the pictures, but what are you molding with - fiberglass ? looks like foam in the pic??
either way- think this is gonna look wild when done!
5*
on the fab skills

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
its fiberglass. i started with wooden templates and started molding. once the first layer hardened, i took the templates off and started adding layers. there will be about 6-7 layers of fiberglass when done. should be nice and steardy then.

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
In your case i like the sharp edge from the front but could soften toward the side to flow with the fender and body lines....
really cant wait to see when done!

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
Looks good..... I like it!!!!
Wish I had the guts to pull something like that off!!! I tip my hat to you sir...
I'd love to blend the 91/92 Z-28 ground effects (the scoops) onto my GTA.
Too many projects on the go right now hmmmm.....

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
looks good...did you try a mock up with more of a slope to the center piece?

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
no. ever since i seen the "wrath" (movie) in the 80's, ive always liked the center section of the "turbo interceptor". im still in the beginning stages and i have a few more ideas that i want to check. right now i just want to get the main shape of the sides done and go from there.

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
to be honost, i havent seen there front bumper. im not trying to go there route. ive been working on this design im doing for about a year now. im pretty much leveling the froont bumper from the front tires to the end of the nose.

Re: my custom front chin spoiler project
once the weather cools down a bit i will do more. im thinking of going with a light metallic gold paint job. cant really see all the detail with a dark color. i still need to sand down the lip and add a few more layers of fiberglass. after the chin spoiler is done, im going to redo my hood and rear bumper.
