a friend gave me the header from a 86 camaro i was thinking of cutting it down and mounting it up under the front of my camino as a spoiler . anyone ever try this i think it would look kool . and cost me less than buying the ss spoiler .
any thoughts ?

I believe they help with gas mileage. Part of a ground effects thing.

There is a guy on Ebay that has them for most years. I got one for a 65 and it is a good quality item. I think it is Randy's spoilers. just search chevelle spoilers

No way that a spoiler helps with gas mileage. Youll have better luck farting out the window for extra thrust.

honestly if you want a spoiler ive seen the camino spoilers for decent prices on the bid sites and such. why go for an iffy look that may not turn out well? go for the natural one and itll be best.

spoilers creat downforce.. downforce equals drag.. drag equals poor gas milage..
in theory anyway :dontknow:

If the spoiler don't increase mileage, I'm gonna mod my door for easier farting out the window:smileyb:

What's wrong with farting. Once I passed 50 years of age I allowed myself to fart anywhere any time. :nanawrench:Of course, you can't trust farts being over 50.
