Anyone remember the early Camaro nose spoiler?  Something like this:

I would like to see something like the second one for my Solstice.  Vendors is it doable?

Maybe one of you photochop experts could put the spoiler on a sol

Don't know why you couldn't link the picture but the picture on Wikipedia was huge. I Photoshopped it and uploaded it to the site.

Here's a couple over pictures of teh first spoiler from different angles. Couldn't find any other pictures of the other spoiler.

Could we get one made from titanium so I don’t smash it again?  :rofl:

If you did, it would just fracture/break at the attach point instead of the spoiler.  The real solution would be something flexible or collapsible that springs back to its original shape after impact.

As my old college minister used to say, "You've got to be tough, but you've got to be flexible."   ;)
I'd rather be driving! :D

Chemist:

Yea I also used to hear that back in my college years but I grew up Italian where everyone was tough and very, very inflexible.  In fact I think the Italians must have invented Super Alloys, i.e. inconel, haskaloy, titanium, etc, super tough but very inflexible!!!!!   :lol:
