How many type of front spoilers?

Like the title says....how many are there? I think there are 3, the small thin unit that the base model like I have has, then there is the R1 version, and then the '99 spec that is kind of big in my opinion.
Am I correct?
Any pics of these on various cars?

Thanks!

I assume you are looking for ones that fit on the stock '93-95 front. Racing Beat also has two different ones.






Racing Beat Chin spoiler (above).







'99 Spec on the last two...

More air is always better. Just take a look at the pictures above of my car before and after the mod. It opens the front up quite a bit. It's only useful if you are tracking your car.

It's not hard. I don't remember how long it took, but it's one of the easier things you can do on this car.

I am REALLY liking the way those Advans look on that FD. For some reason it seems to work well with the '99 spoiler too..

Anyone?

Needs to be a '99 front-end on that guy though....shoot, ane ntire body kit for that matter.

Thanks.

I've never seen a pic of one before and I thought it might make the car look unballanced.

I love the front spoilers available for the car, but the rear's leave me unimpressed.
