Question about 1970 front spoiler and front wheel flares?
I thought I'd ask the board which supplier/manufacture is building the best fitting 1970 front wheel flares and center spoiler section.. I'm looking at possibly purchasing 3 sets of front spoiler kits... I've heard there a lot "poor fitting" reproductions out there and I'd like to avoid purchasing a poor fitting set..
Please chime in with your thoughts and comments which parts and supplier you'd suggest (appreciating I just did a big order with our host to do my part in supporting) if you wouldn't mind.... Also of note,, I need one set asap as I have the car in for paint now

I use the flares from the parts place. I don’t like buying stuff from them but for 299 on eBay you can’t beat it. The welting you can buy from James. Center spoiler is a repo from D&R. You may have to trim the front spoiler. With a little bit of work you can get a very good fit .

Another opinion here,...buy GM NOS or NORS flares and spoilers. Yes, the most expensive way to go, but will fit best "out of the box". May still require a bit of smoothing to get a nice finish, but it's worth the time.
Guess it depends whether this is a car you're going to sell soon after finishing it or one that you plan on keeping forever. |

Albert,
Second Gen Graveyard on Facebook his user name is John D. Lorean sells Danko brand. I see a lot of good things about the Danko spoilers. He is also very reasonable on price. He may also have good used originals. Thanks, Stan I also sent you and email with a question about Cherokee Soldier. |

The white molded center spoilers first reproduced around '97 or '98 by Steve @ D&R were very high quality. Reproduced from a nos GM spoiler, the only issue I had with the ones I bought was one needed a little extra glue for the edge welting. Gary (muscle collector) & Ron J also bought quite a few of that initial run, maybe they will chime in. on front corner spoilers, i have been using NOS & restoring very nice used.

Originally they were sold in molded color. Later ones that I bought were black. I bought one once that was black painted over blue Parent material.

Can double ck the nos center spoiler I have put aside for my '72 T/A, believe its a gray color. It was sourced in the late 90's from Ron.

Ok thank you! I have two NOS ones in the box and they are both white. I was curious if what I actually got was the D&R repros in an NOS box.
