Weren't you talking about doing one fabbed up out of aluminum a while back?
I agree it could use more width and height to be more effective. But this one was a freebie, so I decided what the heck and made some brackets. I don't have any pressure transducers to stick under the hood or other methods to measure front end lift, but it does seem to have helped a little bit. It's also very effective at stopping bugs from comitting suicide all over my crank pulley, sway bar, steering box end cap, and A-arms. Makes for much easier clean up after a drive out on country roads near dark, just wipe 'em off the spoiler.

One advantage to the Camaro piece is that if I ever subject it to a curb bashing in the future (hope not!) it's only $18 and very little work to replace (needs minor trimming in the center.) If I were to tag a hand-made aluminum spoiler against a curb, I'd be really ticked!

I'm still planning on bending up an aluminum spoiler in the same basic shape as this Camaro piece, only going about a foot wider and maybe 3-4" lower. This one works for now.
