Pics wtd- 78-89 bumper w/glass valance

I've been going back and forth these past few months on the best way to add a front mounted cooler for my 78 3.2.

I like the look of the RSR or RUF entire bumper/spoiler but I'm not sure taking weight of the front of the car makes that much sense especially when I need to get the car up to 2600lbs if I go PCA racing. So, I'm condsidering leaving the stock bumber and adding an 930s or RUF glass valance below as seen at Rennspeed.... http://www.rennspd.com/Products.asp?Task=STD&ModID=2&catID=3

Do any of you have pics of either of these I can look at.
Thanks

Craig,

Here is a shot of our car with a 930S style front spoiler.

Pic was taken at Second Creek last year.

You will find that most racers prefer the full f/g f/r bumper setup.

All weight is not equal. For chassis weight you first want to remove any weight at the ends of the car and secondly weight up high.

Here is a GT racing front splitter that has had a front oil cooler custom cut into it.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I'm finally getting around to mounting a valance and oil cooler on the 78.

Jeff, Rob, George......is your cooler mounted to the bottom of the stock bumper or mounted to the tub. I'm trying to decide which route make more sense.
Thanks
