Alright lets get some Roadster input.... I am an Admin over on a Mustang site... and the range of aftermarket parts and price points are MUCH better than available for our 370s.

I like the idea of a front lip for the front but the $700-$1,000 ones that I see pushed on here (with Japanese install instructions lol) are not for me.

I will do some better measurements soon - but the chin spoiler off an 03/04 Mach 1 Mustang may fit the 370... they can be had for a smashing $69 and are a slick and easy install. They are somewhat pliable so if you touch a curb with it it won't crack (unlike the $1,000 versions).

I photoshopped one onto my Roadster to get a rough idea...

Before...



After...



What do you think of the look/idea? Any other options you have come across?

Not a fan of the chin spoiler. Doesn't fit the lines of the front. Just get an amuse front bumper and call it good. Or an amuse front bumper and a drop FTW.

I'm actually kind of neutral on the look. I'll have to ruminate on it a while. I certainly don't dislike it. It doesn't scream out ricer or ugly with a capital f, so it isn't a bad thing. Bear in mind none of the available bumpers/skirts/spoilers reach out to me yet either, so neutral is pretty much normal for me. In fact, it was over a year, and another Z, after I bought the spoiler before I finally installed it.

I most definitely like the idea of it being flexible. When I was in Nova Scotia with the '11 I thought I'd ripped the bottom off of the car. It sounded so bad I stopped to see if anything juicy was pouring out. The next time it was on the lift at the dealer's I couldn't find so much as a scratch. The way I see it, as low as these things are, flexible is a very good thing.

The real point is how do you feel about it.

I wouldn't be able to have that spoiler on the front of my car because it's too low. I already have a pretty good scrape on the underside of my front bumper.

Though I do have a little space for a diffuser of some type in the rear.

The coilovers drop it an inch or so don't they?

I'm about an 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" lower...I think. I forgot to measure before I did the swap.

I just measured an it's 26" to the top of the fender (directly above center) in the rear and 26-1/16" in the front. Not sure what stock measures out at.

Stock 13

Front - 27 1/2

Rear - 27 7/8

Give or take a fraction for standing on my head, narrow tape measure, and being pestered by my somewhat precocious 7 year old grandson, who of course wants to help .

And as you said, it was a light day. Understandable, since it was at most a brisk 50 degrees.
