Mach 1 chin spoiler pics Reply #9 – May 23, 2013, 01:23:27 PM Quote from: FirstBird;415837This reminds me I need to pick up a turbocoupe bumper... Yeah, I like the bumper. The entire front end of TC's were great. I'm not liking much behind the first half of the quarter panels on these cars though. The rears of these cars are the most dated looking part of the vehicles.I've been putting off getting one of these air dams/chin spoilers for years. I'm really curious how it changes any turbulence under the engine bay.A random internet picture I have on here from too many years ago is attached. Something's just not right with the rear, especially the bumper. It looks like it has a saggy butt and needs to lose some weight to tighten back up. Quote Selected

Mach 1 chin spoiler pics Reply #12 – May 24, 2013, 02:28:52 PM Talking of these plastic parts, does anyone know what material our bumpers or this air dam are made out of? Quote Selected
Mach 1 chin spoiler pics Reply #13 – May 24, 2013, 03:53:20 PM The covers on my 85 are PUR or polyurethane. They are a non-TPO plastic, yellow in color, and fairly easy to work with. Most plastic parts will have what material they are (such as PUR) molded into the backside of the part. Other non-tpo plastic covers include; RIM, TPU, PUR, PBT and PU. TPO plastics are generally harder to get repair products to stick to them, they are greasier and usually require adhesion promoters. TPO plastics include; PP, PE, HPB, METTON, and TEO. Quote Selected
Mach 1 chin spoiler pics Reply #14 – May 29, 2013, 02:31:10 AM So these "chin spoilers" are bigger, right? Any idea if they do a decent job at being an air dam, or if this is further increasing the frontal area and possibly drag coefficient? While I think these things look good, I also buttstuffyze everything more than most people. No reason to add more drag to a vehicle if it can be helped. I'm really curious if a street car/tbird could be brought down to a cd of 0.30. It'd take some belly pans, a hood that resembles something more along the lines of the S-197, some more sealing around the front lights, and front windshield work at a minimum. Being able to not run the front license plate would also help greatly - the tip in the T-bird's nose is a design used on more recent vehicles to direct the air around the vehicle.Some vortex generators would probably greatly help too, but they're pretty ugly.
