I have none. Traveling to 1320 on the highway last friday feels
like the steering wheel is going to pop off into my hands. I can
feel the air going under my car which should be air going over.
And to think cruising at 80mph was bad and I was up to 124 in
it what was I thinking. How can I get some more air over the
top its already dropped on its balls. Its a 93 with the
different front fascia. I was thinking a front lip spoiler? Can I
get a custom molded one? Maybe a fiberglass one? I saw that that
John Foo raced in the Touring Car Series with a plywood one for
awhile. Maybe that would work...

If you feel you really need to go that fast...examine the aero dynamics of the fascia you put on it may be directing more air under your car instead of at the radiator and above the car. Remember those fascia are designed for looks not performance.

To the looks of it it is. The 93-94 Fascia are big and round
and driect as much air into the radiator as they do under the
car. Does anybody know of any companys who make some bolt-on lip
spoilers?

Maybe its just me.. but wouldnt putting more air OVER the car cause MORE lift? You need to create a low pressure area under the car.. go to the junkyard and find some lower air dam things from cars (GMs have good ones) and use some ingenuity and fabbing. Good luck!

Well faster air over the top creates a low pressure area under
the car and creates lift the same with an airplane wing right?
Like if you look at the prostock and Bonneville cars they just
have shields that wrap around the whole front of the car and
wont let any air under or atleast not much. I would do that
but hit a bump and its shot. And nope the plastic thingy is
still
