Scoop on '68-'70 Charger's below the front valance...

[MxRacer855]

There is a shroud on some Chargers that I see located beneath the front valance. They're very noticeable on the front of the car. Mike Musto has on his '68 that was featured on 'Drive'. I'm just curious what they're for? I can only guess to direct more air flow through the radiator and engine bay area.

I think they look pretty cool and was just wondering who makes them if anyone knows...

Thanks

No scoops below the valance were ever installed from the factory...

Air Dam.
It's to reduce airflow under the car for better high speed handling.
Most people use a Camaro part.

68-69 Camaro chin spoiler.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

99% of them are just for looks. I like it because it hides the sway bar and makes the front end look lower.

I've got the 69 camaro spoiler on mine painted the body color. And for the price you can't beat it. If it breaks just get a new one. The coolest thing I've seen is MSRacing89 added brake cooling ducts into his spoiler. I'm going to copy that idea one of these days.  

There is also these from Spoilers by Randy. These are actually made for the chargers but are a lot more expensive.

I don't know that I'd do it myself but that Randy's one doesn't look bad under there.

[MxRacer855]

Exactly guys! Thanks. That was exactly what I was referring to. I assumed it was an aftermarket option since I've never seen it on a stock Charger, but I had no idea it was a GM part! Looks pretty cool though. Is the conversion easy?

Those spoilers by "Randy" definitely look like a cool, simple thing that adds a badass touch to the front end (if that's what you desire).

mine is the 68

It looks great! Easy fit? Mine will be for a '68 as well.

I don't have any experience ordering Chevy stuff. Anyone got a link?

[Ghoste]

After all the pain to restore your car you would add a front spoiler from a Camaro Bull?

69 Camaro spoiler.  Paid around $30 with the brackets.  I drilled new holes in the top lip of the spoiler to line up with the valance so no holes had to be drilled in the car itself.  There's a long rod that comes with it that fits perfectly between the center mounting bolt on the spoiler and a bolt on the k member.  All I had to do was flatten the pre-bent edge of the rod.  I hit a high curb with it last summer and the rod took the hit.  The spoiler had a tiny crack but that was it.


The sway bar just had to be hidden imo.

I have never like this camaro spoiler thing personally. It is not wide enough for the car. Kind of like a cowl hood on a Mopar. It don't belong.

[BrianShaughnessy]

I can buy a lot of ebay plastic camero spoilers that are a lot tougher than a $200 22 ga Randy spoiler...   and if it's not tougher well... I'm still ahead of the game.   Just saying    .   I've had one on Betty for... um... years now

That link is for the '67-68 spoiler.

Here is the '69.

Don't know why. I just never could stand scoops, NACA ducts spoilers or anything like that. Hate them on anything. My Neon Sport daily driver had a stupid spoiler on the deck lid. I put a four door sedan decklid on it. Hate Shelby Mustang GT500's with all of the ducts, scoops etc. Hate 90's Trans Am's but yet a 69' Daytona or Superbird is my dream car!!! weird, huh?

A bit!  I never understood the wing car thing.  I'm not a real fan of spoilers either but it's a vast improvement now that the sway bar is hidden.  The width is actually perfect, it looks like it was made for it as it is as wide as the bottom edge of the valance, it just doesn't show it in these pics.

[MxRacer855]

I think it's relative to the car that the scoop, wing, and spoiler is on. I really hate them on some but think they look amazing on others. I guess it's just personal opinion.

Bull go ahead and put one on, needs that sway bar covered up,
I'm with you 6pkrtse,
not wide enough, looks a couple sizes too small,
will post photo's when i get mine finished, making one out of alloy, similar shape but wider than the GM one, trying to mount it spring loaded so it has some movement for hits.

All front sway bars were painted black from the factory - therefore hidden.    The front spoiler is a nice addition on some cars.

Mine has a factory front spoiler...
