There are Kamei front spoilers available for '68-'73 standards and Supers. Just make sure when you order, you are getting the right one.

EDIT: I saw this ad during lunch. (I do not know the seller and have no connection with the ad other than its reporting).

Well that's one of the cool things about GL, there's no strict set of rules. BTW I will add a kamei under the cover when the time comes, and it wont be apparent.

Now that I'm making bumpers, would anyone be interested in a combination bumper/spoiler? What I'm thinking is joining a C/F bumper with a C/F Kamie spoiler making them one peace. I would use a 68/73 bumper with or without signals and reshape the spoiler a bit. I also want to add vents and maybe lights to the spoiler, what do you think good idea, bad idea, anyone interested???

I'm thinking good idea if you use a Kevlar mix? Wouldn't the CF crack when a curb or somthing is hit? How many ply? How thick? CF is just to rigid to flex isn't it?

The bumpers are about .100 thick I could make the spoiler a little thinner. I was thinking of shortening the spoiler about an inch at the bottom and adding a replaceable rubber lip, kind of like a scraper. Do you think that would work?

I'm so in on that what would be sweet.

I would like to see a kamei spoiler copy that would work on early cars. Mines a 61' .

You are?

That's great news.

I have some planning and replanning to do.

Yes, I have the molds for 74/79 bumpers and I'm working on a set of 68/73 I'm not sure if anyone would want early C/F bumpers.

Bullyboy,
I'll look into it.

I'm also working on the molds for C/F bumper brackets for 68/73 bumpers.

I assume that means kevlar-carbon is possible, too.

Also, would a genuine Kamei spoiler and driving lights be able to bolt on?

Yes, kevlar-carbon is possible. As fore the lights, I'd like to get everyone's ideas and opinions on what would be the best lights to use.

Like I said to you before I would be interested especially since it would utilize the 68-73 bumper size. You have email Joe!!

[ECBug]

I'd like to see the combo myself. I could dig that.

LOL, that is an OLD picture of my car!


CarbonJoe: I am also interested in a bumper/spoiler combo.

[Chisel86]

I might be interested in it. Depends on the cash flow.
