Am I the only one that thinks a nice fabbed brushed aluminum chin spoiler would look better on the front of that Camaro than a black plastic factory piece?
I've been working on one for my car out of .125" or .188" thick 6061-T6 that will bolt to the bottom of the radiator support and the front frame horns. I just haven't made one that makes me happy yet. I whip up a flat pattern in CAD, use our NC cutting machine to cut one out of thinner stock for ease of use, then tape it on the car and stand back and look. So far I haven't got it quite right; I've been playing with various rakes and height tapers trying to settle on something I like.
When I decide on one, I should whip up a little model of the car and the chin spoiler and take a drive over to my alma mater, instrument the sucker and throw it in the little wind tunnel and get some data. I'd prefer it be effective rather than just cosmetic. I'm not a big fan of cosmetic-only mods...
I'd love to park my whole car in the giant wind tunnel at NASA's AMES facility (I have friends there) but I don't make enough in a year to pay for the electricity to fire that thing up for 5 seconds... it's rather expensive to power up 6 electric motors that make 22,500 horsepower... EACH.
