Most of the Pantera vendors sell a variety of spoilers including replicas of the Gr-3 for the street. Most are fiberglas. If it hangs down more than an inch or so below the chin section of the nose, buy two or three since you WILL crack it in street driving.

I prefer the Revson which matches the body curves and doesn't hang down at all, and still gathers extra air for the radiator. Good for at least 160 mph. Larry at Pantera Parts in NV has both styles of Revson front spoilers.

I thought I heard the Dennis Quella, in Castle Rock, CO sells the fiberglass blade spoilers.  I thought the shop was called Pantera Performance.  

A quick search on this site for any of those terms should pull up his info.

Here’s pictures of my car with the blade spoiler.  It’s on the 5357 thread, on page 12.

It’s just a simple, black, flat, fiberglass blade. I liked a lot, it’s very retro.

it’s actually harder than you think to get a good picture of the spoiler because of the flat black, and being underneath the car in the shade (Because it’s critical that the required areas of the valence and the underside is also painted in flat black - to prevent your car from looking like “a fat cat with its belly dragging on the ground“*).

The mounting is the only negative to the spoiler. They provide about 10 small 1032 screws, nuts and washers

I have never gone to that much trouble and I don’t think using them to mount is very  secure.

I have always used sheet metal screws to attach the lip to the valance.

The last spoiler I purchased from them was trimmed very differently than my previous examples, and the mounting lip was nearly nonexistent.

if you study the pictures you can see my old spoiler has a half inch lip compared to the new spoiler with barely 1/4 inch lip. I went to the trouble of adding mounting tabs but I’ve never had to do this previously. Whoever trimmed that spoiler when it came out of the mold took off too much material. ☹️☹️😡
