    Erick, Don Bowles had the same problem with their yellow mav. even with the huge rear spoiler on it, they put a front chin spioler on it and fixed the problem!!!They also had to close up all the the front area on the car, you can see how they did it if you can find some pics!!!

    I'm not sure that MAS spoiler is good enough for highway speed - let alone 160+. Here are some ideas from Joe Dirt's Power Tour pictures that are more suitable for those speeds.

    my dad builds those rear soilers for people around here. as for the front. thats nice. would be much better than a fiberglass as far as performance. especially at your speeds.

    Hey I'm still interested in the front spoiler. Haven't heard back from you on the total with shipping. Do you still want to sell it?

    i installed a 1969 CRAPMARO front spoiler. ebay dirt cheap, only mod was cutting a little triangle in the center (in the bolt holes area) so you can open it a little to fit.
