Default First Gen Carbon Fiber Chin Spoiler

Here a couple of pics of the mold going to be used to fabricate a Carbonfiber chin spoiler for this camaro. I am curious as to how many people would be interested in one of theses for them selves. Lip will be made from Carbon Fiber w/ honeycomb core and the spoiler will be 3k carbon fiber- total wieght around 3 lbs. Chin Spoiler and Lip are two piece- can run spoiler with or with out lip. Spoiler bolts to factory mounting holes on front valance and front fender extensions. Current mock up is with DSE Front-Clip, No idea on pricing yet- just looking to see amount of intrest, and if it a short production of these may be in the future...

Thanks
Tommy

In for aluminum with a quick release feature for track days, because that spoiler is done for on any highway and most driveways. The stock one is a problem for most of us.

Here how it might end up looking



What's your experience with glass or carbon spoilers on the street though? In my experience they are an accident waiting to happen, curbs, driveways, manhole covers etc. They end up cracked, chipped and worst case take the front valance with them. I opted for a ABS spoiler and and then put the CF splitter on when going to the track or a show.
