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? |

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.

I found this to be true. Back when I had a 2.0/4, I was running a 'deep' LE-style spoiler and was running hot. At some point I decided to change to a regular LE and my temps went down. This was on a motor without any external oil cooler. |
