    I would like to install a front spoiler on my GS.Are there any instructions or drawnings in the manuals or elsewhere?

    You didn't say which year...'70 is slightly different from '71/'72. IMO the Assembly Manual for given year is best, but most spoiler providers include a scanned drawing. A search will likely find one, or someone may respond with one they scanned...

    These are the instructions I got with my Year One spoiler years ago.

    I think most people disregard the brace. I know I did, even though I purchased it with the spoiler.

    I didn't, the YO spoiler is not that sturdy. It needed the brace.

    ...not Shop...Assembly Manual. Shop for repairing, Assembly for originally puttin' 'em together. IMO essential for resto...

    As for center brace...like some others, bought but didn't use. Been telling myself for 8 years that someday I'll get around to putting it on for "correctness," but the Parts Place spoiler stiff enough without it...

    I drive mine around at breakneck speed frequently enough :Brow: that I decided to use the brace. Who knows how bent out of shape they get at 120+? I don't.:Do No:

    The brace was remarkably easy to install.

    I seem to recall mine would have required some modification to fit correctly (too long)...why I didn't install at time...:Do No:

    My "garage queen" will never see 120...:shock::grin:
