I would like to see your front spoilers to help me decide on what I want to do for my 75. Combinations? Just post your pictures and a description of your spoiler(s). Preferably 75-76's. Maybe a black 75-76 with a LE front spoiler?

***Will a LE spoiler allow enough air under the car? (I have a 75 2.0l)
***And, will a LE spoiler fit directly to a 75? Or will there be cutting/fab needed?

Never mind. Pic deleted. I just realized you wanted to see them with the big bumpers. Mine are backdated.

My custom-made spoiler. Channels air through radiator for V8.

The Flexdams seem to be a little too big. The rubber makes it look just a little too big. If the rubber was removable I would consider it though. Is it removable?

I remember some people claiming there is an engine cooling issue for four cylinder cars using spoilers like this. The claim is that the LE airdam is raised up in the center allowing enough air under the car to hit the black plastic deflectors on the underside of the car to help draw air through the engine.

Your talking about the Flexdams? But the LE should be fine?

Air under the car is definitely a consideration for aircooled cars . . .
