The same place they did, build it custom. And if you do it, make 2, I will take one off your hands. PM me if you want some detailed photos of the Heritage and its lip spoiler from alternate angles.

And Yeller, shaving the spoiler is kind of like castrating a dog, it may be aerodynamic, but something just looks to be missing.

Has it been done? Yes intentionally, and most oftenly accidentally! Does it look good in either case? no no no no no no no no

But it would be different, so if that's what you'd be proud of, shoot for it!

You know what they say, "Shoot for the Moon. If you miss, you're gauranteed to catch a star.....

that would actually look pretty good imho BUT i would only back this opinion up IF i saw the car from a different angle. Looks like the 2nd gen spoilers like the 75' trans am's. Also that would look good SLAMMED to the ground on some crazy wide wheels/tires in the rear. but too much work...you have to change the whole hatch and do all sorts of body work to get this look...

Your car would look great with it. You got the shaker hood going-your car NEEDS it.






I'm liking the RK spoiler-looks alot lighter than stock so it's good for drag racing too

Depends on your point of view.... personally I like the T/A spoiler.

As for doing nothing.... the T/A spoiler does add drag but it also causes a 9%increase in downforce!!!!!!!!
