Anyone completely delete the chin spoiler/lip?

How much are they? I didn't know they were expensive.
like $300 and change
I've seen cars without it - it doesn't look good. I actually wish it looked OK without it - but you can tell something is missing if it's not there.
From what I have read, to keep it from shrinking you will need to heat it and stretch it first then heat it again to learn the shape. That's around corners anyway. But flat spots should be the same. I am thinking about wrapping my car this winter.
There closer to the 400 mark.
It looks terrible with out it.. Here are some pictutes of my old GT with it off.
I used a drive way sealer from home depot ($10) instead of paying for a new chin spoiler.. It turned out pretty good, you wouldnt notice it wasnt a real thing unless you knew about it. Here are some pictures of that.
Again, this was done on a GT. so I didnt really care if it didnt look perfect. I probably wouldnt do this to my cobra unless it was a temporary thing. BTW i did this to the GT in 2013, and it still is holding strong with the new owner.
This may be a cheap option for you until you find an OEM one.
**EDIT**
I see you are in JAX. I'm about to get stationed down there in August. How is the terminator scene down there?

There's quite a few around. I just got mine a week ago and it's my first one so I'm learning everything as I go. I'm sure I speak for a bunch of people when I say I want a write up on that "driveway sealer" alternative! My car is nice but it's not a show car so I wouldn't mind doing that to mine. It's like on Shawshank Redemption, how often do you really look at a man's shoes? lol If it's there, people won't scrutinize it (unless it's all jacked up like mine!)
There used to be a write up on moddedmustangs... I'll see if I can find it

I think this is the one I used as a guide.. Its on a gt bumper, but you get the idea. I used a heat gun to get it to mold to the bumper better.

Looks like shit! lol
Look into ForceWerkz. They make a repro and it is half the price. It is not as high quality but my car has one and you can't tell the difference.

Can get a CF for the price they want for the OE Now.
Why does say the mach 1 chin spoiler not fit? Is the curve of the bumper different?
