Default Track chin spoiler

Does anyone have a picture of this? I see it as an option with the track, but I don't see any difference between the track front end and any other model.

Thanks

I dont have a picture handy, but its about 1" tall black plastic and goes under the bumper, mounted to where the undertray meets the bumper. Its not really visible at all.

+1. I actually had to install it myself, I found it in the trunk. The other day I totally skidded it on my friend's driveway.. It's not so smooth anymore.

I was thinking of stapling a 1" plastic strip to the the 1/2" chin spoiler that I have on my Enth. Do you guys think it's too ghetto?

Sadly, it isn't much more impressive than what you are talking about.

Can anyone tell me what purpose that strip serves other than to scrape itself on curbs? I cant believe it deflects any appreciable amount of air or helps the drag coefficent any........

Hmmm, none of my pics show it. But it's basically what everyone has been saying. A small strip below (and kinda behind) the bumper. Very low and very hard to see. Mine is scratched all to hell. I always though it was part of the Track's air-diffusers package....but I could be wrong.

I'll take some pics of it for you when I get home from work. Although we haven't had a single day of sunshine in weeks now.

Oh wait, found one (it's the black strip):

I don't like that thing...all it does is get caught on parking blocks and crap. It must cause more damage than w/o it. Like...if you're pulling out of a parking lot and it scrapes really hard it will twist your whole bumper.

Thanks man! I can't see mine because of the V1 lip, but I was just curious as to what it was.

You are driving a sports car with minimal clearance, you shouldnt be driving over the parking blocks in the first place. Stop before you hit the block.
