Great, then I can see what one looks like on a DTR before I decide. :cool:

Oh shoot. You mean i'm the first :)

[1stMerc]

rayjay,
Still no spoiler yet, not looking good for install by MV V

[rayjay]

Ya still have Mon and Tues. It will show up in time.

[Professor]

I have still yet to see a picture of one on a silver birch. I did this mod (same part no.) on my 2001 Bullitt, but I want to see it on a SB before I do it. Supposedly, there are some SB's out there with it on there, but I haven't see one yet.

[Raudermaster]

I hope you all supported Wes and bought your chin spoiler from him! ::shakes fist::

Looking good. Nice to see the REDline special again.

Thanks for the comments--Yeah--I 'm really excited on how well she looks now--..she gets alot of attention where ever she goes....

[rayjay]

I saw a pic of one on a DTR, looks nice. My concern is will it be a snowplow in the winter? Marauderman, whats the ground clearance look like?

[PSG]

sweet a corvair !

[Seneca]

Looks really nice, to bad i dont think it'll work with my intercooler setup. :(

Doubt it will be a snow plow--however , having lived in a snow belt before , the front can catch some snow even with out it--so , probably to some degree, but I would not expect it to be a problem--really--the ground clearance-well its great--pulled up to a parking lot bumber the other day and it went over the top nicely--however, I am practicing to stop just back of them cause not all are squarely on the ground , which could catch if they were a bit higher.....

BTW-- We attached the front chin with plastic push gromets so that if the chin should ever get "caught" on something and RIP OFF--it wil not take the bummer or damage it--just pull out of the holes it was attached to ---a SAFETY FEATURE--


The under mesh is in three (3) pieces: the first is what you see in the pic. the front area--we tied to gether two more pieces and attached it further back to cover the additional opening which covers the area of the radiator and intercoller opening--work VERY well--maybe I should take another pic of showing this so all can see---will do it later and post it ---I haven't actually measured the clearance to the ground--but I will now that you asked--the main thng is to stay clear of known raised items when you see them when pulling into places regardless or stay just back from them.

OBTW-=- We also drilled holes in the OEM rubber cover that originally is for protecting the radiator hose horizonially and tied straps around it and thru the holes to tighten the hose up so it would not "hang" down as it was and seems to be on most MM's..

[rayjay]

Thanks for the info and great tips.

[Professor]

Did I mention that there are still no known pictures of a silver birch with one of these mounted? :(

[kcsd823]

I think there is a silver crown on CVN with one attached. Somewhere..........

[Marauderman]

Just do it--You like the way mine looks --right?--so you will like yours as well--the same way----Do it!..It will match your dark grill--Tom

[rayjay]

How does this effect the high speed handling? I put a small rear spoiler on my last car mainly for appearance. I really didn't think it would have any effect on the handling. It actually made the car feel less solid at high speed.

[1stMerc]

Spoiler was waiting on porch when i got in from MV V. Installed spoiler a a little while ago. Looks good to me. Do it rayjay.

[stillprint]

is the pic taken in a mirror..or maybe your godhead is exactly upright...or maybe that little drip stain looking spot on the fender? any of that right?

[stillprint]

btw, i like how the background of the godhead is the same color as the car. great detail..also, how'd you do that grill?

[rayjay]

Looks great. Its on my list for sure. Thanks for the pics.

Above post is close, but not done with mirror. There is one thing that would give it away.

If you mean the shiny part, it is a tuner car grille insert trimmed to fit. Atached with glue and the front badge. Find at O'Reily auto parts by APC.

What did you think of the one you saw in person? Pics don't due justice.

FreddieH, said he sent his back. Didn't like the look. He has a silver.
Pm him for details

[rayjay]

It looked good. I think you pics are very good representation of it looks in person. Did you do it alone?

[Hadamustang1]

I like it. Put that on my list as well.:D

Yes i did it all by me self and one scissor jack. I used the two outter existing bolts too hold it in place and the jack in the middle. Two sided tape will stick to the bumper but not to the spoiler under its own weight.

About 15-20 min. once determined plan of attack.

Cool, that makes at least two DTR phat lips running around.

[Hotrauder]

It's there Tom, just doesn't show from that angle. Been there for 2 years. thanks for the concern. You are right. It is the best $5.00 mod available. Dennis

No matter which way the car is facing, the air intake is towards the camera - reverse photo

Correct, flipped it horizontal to shrink original left side.

[fastblackmerc]

sweet a corvair !

It's for sale. 1966 Corsa coupe, white w/ red interior, 4-speed, 140hp w/ 4 1-bbl carbs, headers & tons of parts.

[Logan]

Where/how are you doing the screens for the lower grille?

[1stMerc]

Where/how are you doing the screens for the lower grille?

Which one, the single one over the opening or the two piece that goes across the bottom under the car?

[Logan]

Both........

[fastblackmerc]

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's. Get 3 pieces of the galvanized gutter guard. One piece goes behind the lower grill opening, the other 2 go in the open area underneath. You'll see where.

Here's a pic.

[Richy04]

Spoiler is right,

Please dont post about installed accessories unless you have a picture to add in.. You "spoil" the whole excitement we have thinking you supplied us with a picture.. Shame on you, go stand in the corner!! I hope they ban you over this!!

[1stMerc]

Just an FYI, those two bolts on either side near the front need to go through an expanded hole in the mesh. Other wise it may slide left or right after a period of time.

Have not done the bottom one, so can't speak of it

[fastblackmerc]

To do the bottom mesh.

1. Remove the air deflector - 3 bolts & a push rivet

2. Install the mesh, I used small white zip ties to connect the 2 pieces together along the long edge.

3. After it's in position use self-tapping screws to secure the mesh to the plastic pieces that are parallel to the sides of the car (you'll see what I mean once you get under there). I used stainless steel screws and washers.

4. Replace the air dam

5. Pop a cold one and admire your work!

That is looking good. Ties the spoiler in with the black lower rockers.

Still waiting to see a good picture of it on a SB to see if I like it or not.

Hadn't thought about that, good point.

They're waiting on you to be the pioneer :D

[Logan]

You lost me at "Go to Home Depot"... ;)

[FordNut]

Some folks use gutter screens from Home Depot (or equivalent). Others get the pre-painted stuff from the ricer "race" parts warehouse.

[Hotrauder]

Gutter Guard as Brian posted is at Lowe's for 6/7 bucks or so for 5 pieces. It gets dull after awhile and mine needs to be replaced for more Bling:D The fit is perfect and it does keep road debris from damaging the fins on the radiator. Takes 5 minutes to install including time to get the beer. Dennis

I almost think the spoiler looks better on the DTR than the black. Who would have thought...

I can't believe there are no pictures of one on a SB. Might just have to call Wes and order one.

[1stMerc]

Yo Wes,
Finally found a place for the sticker from the first ever order from you.
