Assuming you mean the one that fits in the grill opening? I have it on mine. I'll be glad to post a pic for you when I get off work. It came on the car and I like it, its a keeper and I have removed a lot of clutter on this car. If somebody doesn;t get here before me I'll have a pic on here tonight for you.

Actually there is already a picture here on the thread "How to Clean or Wash Your Roadster" post #39 is a pic of mine also if you go to the Detroit Autorama thread looks like Mark has one on the front of his car. Hope this helps.

There are plenty of photos of the chin spoiler on these cars. I have one on my car and love the way it makes the car feel at speed. Much more stable.

I know that FFR has an aluminum front air dam for the Spec Racer, and I intentionally did not use that piece on my MKII street car, since I was concerned about its deforming due to bumps and scrapes. I thought long and hard about what material would be best for that use. During that period, Dark Water Customs began offering its adjustable (for height) front air dam, and its aero material is fabricated of rubber conveyor belt material. It's very tough and it looke fine (to my taste). I set the air dam's 3/4-inch square steel tube frame with its bottom flush with the 4-inch diameter car chassis, and I have had no rubbing or damage issues in two years of use. I heartily recommend you have a look at that product: it might be just what you are looking for.

I bought the FFR air dam and after looking at it and doing some measuring I figured it would last about 1 pot hole on a street car so I didnt put it on. As Pierre said Dark Water Customs has a flexable one if you want that look. Tony Chiles on ffcars.com was making a molded fiberglass one that looked really nice. You might go over there and ping him. I dont know if he's on here yet or not.

When running in the Spec series I have to run the FFR air dam, but the FFR air dam mount is impratical, one tight corner up over the ribon and its gone, too many times I have to come in a remove the air dam. I have now gone to Darkwaters air dam, and with this I can mount either the FFR air dam or the rubber conveyor belt material. The air dam takes off about 5mph but on rough tracks does help keep the frontend more stable. I use a quick push pin mount so I can get it on and off in seconds.
