A molded in bumper with the spoiler would look Fine.

Ditch the factory bumper (pic with blue paint), mold the spoiler and add a thinner 67-68 Camaro front bumper. It will need to be worked to fit, but not much. It would have a "nerfy" sort of look to it. Sort of like this... | | | Re: We got another van! | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 Old Timer | OP Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 | That would be nice,but i will stick with the stock bumpers.I will mold in the flares and spoiler.Don't want to get stuck with the Nautilus problems again.Thanks Wookie for reminding me.

They would blend in better and still be legal......
