Looks better in person. No Holes drilled will use Chicks layout on his build thread.
Stock looks Old 2004.
Would Be nice if Goodmark could make another run of these.

James,
 
I cross referenced the number below and nothing pulled up in my system or inventory. The only spoiler I see for this make and model is a spoiler that uses braces. Unfortunately, I do not have an ETA on when or if we would be manufacturing a particular part again.
 
 
Thank you,
Skyla

Hi Jim, yes those dimensions came off a local 2nd owner 68Z survivor. I purchased our spoiler from Heartbeat but that was over six years ago. Seemed to fit the needs with correct texture etc.

I got it mounted to a NOS replacement front STD-Valance

P.S. I rechecked with Goodmark and they still refer you to the second design smooth spoiler that uses support rods. I think they have no interest in reproducing the correct first design version.

I found this earlier posting on CRG about the 1968 front spoiler and whether spoilers used on other period cars had a problem with the spoilers bending at high speed:

http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=10890.0

My 1970 BOSS 302 Mustang still has it's original front spoiler that uses no brackets and has a pebble finish.
