I would like to achieve something like this. Can't find a vendor. GT-Racing.com has a flared front spoiler, but it has a cut out for an oil cooler, which I don't have. Think about buying it none-the-less and modifying it to look like the picture. Comments? Any other ideas?  front_spoiler.tiff ( 393.46k ) Number of downloads: 226

I think your idea to modify the GT Racing Valence is the way you'll have to go...

I have the same spoiler on my flared car. I Cropped off an inch from the bottom and flared it.
In order to do this, I mounted the spoiler to the car and Gorilla glued some EPS foam to the area I wanted to flare. I use EPS because I have a lot of extra and I can cut it with a hot wire.
I used the flared fender as a guide to cut, sand and shape the foam. If you use EPS foam you will need to use epoxy resin. Polyester resin will eat EPS.
If you go to a Michaels or some art or flower shop they may have something that I think is polyurethane foam. Rigid polyurethane foam can be used with polyester resin. I have also seen people use spray foam but it's a bit soft and not so easy to shape.
What I am thing of is green or white and has big open cells that may need to be filled with body filler before you glass over it.
Be sure you sand and clean any surface you want the resin to bond to.
Good luck.
Mike
