Default Front Lip Spoiler?

Does anyone make a front lip spoiler for our cars? I'm looking for one specifically for a 2002 Trans Am. I know on Forza they have some sweet body kits and such (of course I realize this is only a video game). I've looked on ebay and a few other places and have yet to find much aftermarket at all.

Thanks

The ones on forza is a wings west front air dam and the other one is just a front splitter. 6 liter designs used to make one (not sure if he still does) that looked pretty good. I think he is still a sponser on here. But other then him no one else makes one unless you have it custom made.

Here is the link to the web site http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/ I used to have one on my car, the pictures might still be on his site in the LT1 section of it but with my stupid self not reading the directions fully and California pot holes it got ripped in half. but I take full responsability to what happened and he makes a good product and I don't blame his design one bit

On another car forum, I saw some pics of a guy who made his own spoiler from the flexible rubber weatherstriping from Lowes or HDepot that is used on the bottom of overhead garage doors. I think his was about 3-4" wide and fastened with a homemade metal backing strip and rivets. It was pretty rigid once fastened. Sounds alittle flakey, eh? But, it really looked damn good. I admire the DIY'ers!

^^^ a lot of mazda's do that, and I've seen it on tiburon's as well. there's also a guy on ebay that sells a "universal lip" that is just garage door rubber.
