I trying to count how many plastic front spoilers I have damaged over the years. Then imagining how I would feel when I did it to my trick aluminum one.

I was thinking the same thing. At least when I damaged my spoiler that was all I damaged. A hard fixed spoiler would probably do some damage to surrounding body its attatched to. It needs to be something that blends in with the car color and theme and not be a center of attention piece, IMO.

As another point of reference, when I used to race my 240Z at Lime Rock I put on an unbreakable chin spoiler after going through a few fiberglass ones. I ate a cone and mangled the lower valance. The spoiler was still perfect.

hey guys , im recieving a spoiler that is custom . it will be made of steal then powdercoated . mine will have 4inch holes, one per side for air intake to carb, then two 3in holes one per side for my brake ducts . this will be installed on a 1st gen camaro . i have photos sent to me from manufacture (posted below ) but he is a small outfit whom will work with your application .

It's hard to beet a stock spoiler, they just fit the car so well! And as others have said...at least that's all the brakes!!

i'd be concerned about using something that isnt flexible like plastic or even cf... i imagine you could do some damage to the front of the car if you hit the steel or aluminum front spoiler on something... lik eit may bend the front valance.

The aluminum spoiler at spoilersbyrandy is not so rigid that it would bend the valance. It wouldnt do any more damage than a plastic one. I know because it happened to my car. It is the same spoiler used on the 69 silver camaro in the 2008 sema nitrous express booth.
