H/D Chin Spoiler for the GXP! Pic heavy!

[Specter GXP]

Well been waiting all winter to do this little experiment/project to see if it would work on our GP GXP's. Since there was nothing out there for the lower half of the GXP. No ground effects , nothing. so I did this.
I had to lighten up the pictures to show you the image. Will try and get better ones later on.

I present to you the H/D Spoiler for the GXP!

[Mad Monkey]

and yes it kinda is. and your going to go WTF!! Really..

since it got such a great review...

here it is the reveal!:
I am using the pics from the various sites I got the idea from
It is called a H/D Chin Spoiler, the H/D stands for Home Depot.
This is what you need:

3m double sided tape

Tape it to the underside of the bumper or the rubber stripe

you can make the double sided tape as thin or keep it as thick as it comes. as seen in this picture.

mounted under a desktop just to give a view:

What I did was a changed a bit. I started from one edge and coiled it out as I went along. Wiping down the underside of the bumper with cleaner and the strip just before install. I put the 3M tape under the bumper area a little at a time as this stuff tends to stop being sticky if you let it breath for a bit to long.
But I basically cleaned, taped and ran the moulding around the underside of the bumper.
Total cost is about 25 bucks. Any lowes or Home Depot has it. As some figured it out already.
You will be surprised how many people have done this on cars. I originally was going to do this for my Mustang but sold it and got the GXP.
Its basically a MACH1 style chin spoiler. And being as a real MACH 1 spoiler is about 100 bucks..I went with this. But in my google searches I have seen it on:
SRT4's
Mustangs of course
G35's
350 Z
Marauders
lowered trucks
Porshe's
and a few others.
but yea thats about it. Cheap easy and a quick front end apperance mod for the GXP.

The cars I have saved that it has been done on in a good way. Some people really can not work with thier hands and screw it up....patience and following a line and you get the same results.

The Mustang

Some Nissans or I should say Infinities

it is rigid. But soft so it will not crack like a plastic lip.

[imdaman3]

im impressed that shyt looks good:th_thumbsup-wink:

 

[sportred04]

looks good. never seen this on a GP before

 

[Mad Monkey]

hahah H/D, good one.. hey if it sticks i say go for it, like you said its rigid but wont snap, worst that happens is it falls off and you throw it in the trunk to reapply later lol

 

[imdaman3]

yea why dont you put a couple screws in it so it dont fall off for sure??

 

[Mad Monkey]

yeah that would be a good idea, on the ends for sure, then a few in the middle etc.. even use black painted screws so its really blended.

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

looks good
Liek others have said id throw a screw in it every foot or so maybe use some kinda plastic strip as a screw plate

Looks good may have to try it on my crown vic i was going to usse the mach 1 spoiler but never wanted to deal with it
