Anyone got the MMD chin spoiler? What do you all think of it fit-wise? Quality wize? Anyone got any pics? I'm having a hard time finding anything other than the customer pics on American Muscle.
In case anyone's not sure which one I'm talking about:
I'm thinking about ditching the CDC aggressive chin -- just sick of scraping it all the time. Paint's cracked to hell because it caught on a lip pulling into the parking garage at work. Rather than pay to get it repainted (with stripes thats an expensive proposition) and do the same thing over again, I'm looking for something that's going to give me the same kind of look, but isn't as oversized. Added bonus: I won't catch anymore crap from my brother about my "80's camaro wannabe chin"
Thanks. Yes, it is textured. I keep a good coating of 303-brand protectant on it. Just be careful of curbs and parking stops!
How heavy is the texture? Like the plastic on the mirrors? Or on the GT500 / GT/CS rear bumper? I can probably have the grain filled if its not too bad. I'm looking to paint it to match my old chin:
(as you can tell, I know all about having to avoid curbs )
Never park "front end" with these cars, they are too low resulting in damage. Always back-in to the space till the tires hit the parking bump, 0 damage.
Have you looked at the Cervini's type II chin spoiler. i had this one on my car before I swapped bumpers.

Quality and fitment were outstanding.
Yeah thats pretty much the same style as the CDC Classic chin with those character lines that shoot straight down from the grille opening. I don't know why, I've just never been a fan of that (even not that much on the GT/CS bumper). I prefer the oval opening that the CDC Agressive chin and this one give you:

Totally agree, and always do. Problem is those times when you're pulling into out of a driveway/parking garage and its too **** steep

You want an oval opening?
It is pretty stupid low though especially with my springs. My own driveway

I've seen some pictures on American Muscle with partially painted Chin Spoiler.
On the pictures it looksa little bit like CS Bumper.
Dont know how that looks in real life
Another point is costs.
I had scratches unter my Chin Spoiler after driving 2 days.
When you paint it once, then you will have to paint it every month ;-)

Yeah, I think you would want to paint that IMO.
Lol, yep, that would definitely be oval When I was doing my 60k refresh and had the stripes done, I was between the Street Scene Gen 1, Gen 2, or the stock w/ CDC aggressive chin and it was close between the Gen 2 and the setup I eventually went with. The look I'm going for is to keep it pseudo-shelby/OEM looking, so I'd like to stick w/ a chin on the stock bumper. Plus I forgot how much money they want for a Street Scene bumper ($600+) is out of the question.
So i got a quote from the nearest body shop that does custom work. To do everything, $770, which includes the cost of the spoiler ( $160) and the lower grille ($50), as well as paint and labor (fill/sand the spoiler, figure out how to reinstall the grille since most of the locating tabs were cut off when the CDC spoiler was installed) if I just have them do the filling/sanding /painting, then i think it'd be closer to $380. Stripes... They'll kill ya.
Just ordered the spoiler from AM. Going to try it out black and plasti-dip the rockers and the rear bumper (it's a GT500 bumper I painted like a GT/CS, which I'll turn back into a GT500). Maybe if i black out the whole perimeter it'll look better
I like the black rockers a lot, and, if I had been thinking abiut it, plastidipping mine would have been a lot smarter and less expensive than buying a pair of V6 OEM units off of ebay.
From one Tungsten owner to another, your car is looking good!
