I ordered a repro front spoiler for my car and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I mounted it with 3m tape so I could see what it looked like before I drilled holes and made it permanent. I snaped a few pics and pulled it back off. I'm not sure what it is about it. Could it be that it's just such a big change from what my car has looked like for the 16 years I've had it? Is it mounted back too far? Is it that I know that the '73 cars never came with them? Or is it that it isn't what I had pictured in my minds eye when I ordered it.

Any feed back is welcome.

Thanks Jason

Looks good.  :2thumbs: I always thought my 3rd gen looked better with the spoiler. My only problem was occasionally scraping it on a steep driveway at my old house.

There is nothing like a chin on a 3rd Gen. :D

Although I like the front spoiler and it looks great on your car in the picture, I'm not quite sure about it either.  I did the same thing with my 72 Rallye, bought one but never put it on because it makes the front end appear heavier or thicker to me.  But either way, you have an awesome Charger there.  :2thumbs:

By the way, what size are your front rims?  Are those 15x8 with a 4.5" backspace?  They sit nicely in the wheel well.  I've always thought my 15x7's sit too far in.  I'd like to get some wheels that fit more like yours.  Thanks...

I'm not a huge fan of spoilers, but I agree that it looks great on a 3rd gen! Leave it black and it looks great!

I do like it on there, but I think I prefer the smooth look. Sometimes even a little can look to much, imho.

How about a picture of the car/spoiler at the same angle as you took the first pic to compare ?

Looks great either way  :2thumbs:

I guess I'm the odd man out. I have always thought that these chin spoilers disrupt the clean flowing lines of the car. I wouldnt say that I hate them, but I think the cars look better without them. The other factor is "busy-ness". Your car with the side stripes, top, wheels, chrome trim, hood paint treatment, etc. already looks loaded. There is certain tipping point where there is, just simply stated: "Too much crap bolted on". In line with this thinking, I do appreciate the look of these spoilers (and wings) on cars that have a more stripped-down race look to them where your eyes are not being assaulted with 40 other flashy items.

Sometimes more is not better. The car looks killer as-is!

Yes, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. My 74 440 Rallye (sold a year 1/2 ago):
