I got my car back from the paint shop this morning. The CDC classic chin spoiler is on and painted. I'm at work, but went out and took a couple pics since it will be dark by the time I get home. I'll wash/wax her this weekend and take a whole new set of pics.

What does everyone think? I think it makes the car's stance a lot more aggressive and "mean".

Looks good, man - I'm planning on doing the CDC classic and probably the Roush scoop myself (also want to make it functional/semi-functional).

Get a good straight-on side shot when you can!

Very cool, Acadian. Your car inspired me in some ways, and we will soon have the same spoilers, front and rear. I didn't realize that the Roush hood scoop resembled the '65 Shelby quite so much. I like!

The Roush scoop is very close to the '65/'66 original scoop. I actually have a reproduction mold-on '65/'66 Shelby hood scoop in my shed. I was originally toying with molding it onto the stock hood. But, it would have been a ton of work to mold fiberglass to aluminum... and too much chance of it cracking with how much the stock hood flexes. But I had put the Roush and Shelby scoops side by side and they are virtually the same size all around.

As you already know, Ian. I love your car, but IMO, it looked better w/o the chin spoiler.

Jason, I respect that, bro. I'm not going to say I didn't like it without. But, I really think it adds something... and makes the car even more unique. And I just thought the front of the car looked weak, stock. When you look at the side of the car, it has a rake to it... slanting down towards the front. But, the front bumper almost curves up. Having the chin spoiler on it now makes the bottom line of the car flow from front to rear. I'll try to take a side shot soon.

Looks Great. The new mod to the front makes it look more aggressive.

Thanks, everyone for the compliments. Here is the closest to a rear shot I have right now. I'll take a whole bunch of pics this weekend and I'll make sure to get a straight-on rear and side shot for sure.

I did not think it was possible for your car to look better, you proved me wrong!
