Default Which spoiler?

Ok I'm picking up the Z this weekend. It will be completely stock for about 3 hours. Which spoiler do you guys recommend that would fit nicely with VFN's 3" SS hood? Thanks in advance.

Nothing looks better than an OEM SS Spoiler IMO

I know what you mean but it would be nice to purge through that opening. The regular SS hood is too small IMO.

I have to say I'm not a fan of that hood either! I would get the Ultra Z if you don't like the SS hood - wait a minute you weren't asking about the hood -

Check out my spoiler (site in sig) it's pretty big, might offset the large scoop better than the SS spoiler....

How high is the stock SS hood? I could ask Roger from US exotics if he can make a hood size that is inbetween.

i would agree with the stock or 1" raised SS spoiler. also, i personally love the 3" SS hood from VFN. i have a c/f version, paintable style. i think it looks better on light color cars for whatever reason. hey, anyone wanna buy it?
$1338 new, which it is, $900+shipping. going with a tall deck SBC with a big intake and an elbow style plenum. highly doubt it will fit under this hood with that setup. 3 or 4 pics on my homepage.

later,
Dave

ps, pm me if interested, not trying to steal this thread.

I dont like the 3" hood it doesnt go with the rest of the car, Also think the spoiler would look better if it had the 2 uprights on it like a real SS spoiler. JMHO

i will agree with 69 Yenko. the SS spoiler just doesn't look right without the 2 uprights.
