Hi guys. Checkout the condition of my front lower spoiler. Should I repair this section or replace it? Believe it or not, since 2002, Ive never hit a curve with my spoiler.

Mind's worse getting a new from Classic Industries because they're close and will save shipping. unless anyone has a better idea. They want $200 but I can get it painted cheap maybe free.

Just for future reference, it's "curbs". If you haven't hit the curves with your car, then you don't know what you're missing!

FREE PAINT JOB!!!! I'm jealous. Good for you man. It's bad enough that the spoiler is 3x expensive as a repro fender. :confused:

You may want to check that price on that bumper cover from Classic,I just bought one for my TA and it was $370.00 + shipping:huh:

I mistakenly thought you ordered a bumper cover,sorry.:huh:

Re: Front bumper spoiler ground effect. Repair or replace?
 
I have a big hole in the corner of my front bumper. A friend bought a new bumper from Classic and gave me the old one. I had an accident with my daily driver and a friend who owns a body shop he repaired it and ate my deductible and repainted my bumper (after I sanded) for free now he will paint my spoiler also, I hope.

Re: Front bumper spoiler ground effect. Repair or replace?
 
Its funny how these merchants up the price so high due to the fact that this part is ALWAYS abused and destroyed.

Re: Front bumper spoiler ground effect. Repair or replace?
 
Well I bought a front spoiler from Classic and had my friend at the body shop paint and install it for free. The spoiler I bought looks perfect. I will post pictures soon.
I replaced the headlights while I was at it with this kit from eBay.

Is that the same bumper cover that has the missing piece next to the passenger head lamp? Is so, DAMNNNN! Dude did a good job with that repair!!! How did he do it?

Re: Front bumper spoiler ground effect. Repair or replace?
 
no it came off a friends red camaro who gave it to me when he bought a new one from Classic.
I sanded it and my friend who owns a body shop painted it and installed for me.

Just so the new guys know if you place photos side by side it will stretch the page like this.
Please stack your photos on top of each other.
Thanks
