front spoiler modern or retro?

I know soooooo little about front air dams / spoilers, but wish to learn some more. I never developed a taste for them until the last week or so when I got another z (early '71) that has one mounted. And then this thread educated me about there being several different kinds and varieties (modern / retro). I am considering mounting the one I just got on my 1972. Please give me some opinions on the spoiler. I will attach several pictures. The car it's on hasn't been on the road since about 1986, and I assume it was on the car when it was parked. Is it any good, or a junker in your opinion? Is this what y'all would consider "old school"/ retro or modern? Any idea of the origin of this one? Does it look to have been modified? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to this type of an air dam in comparison to others that are available and described in this thread? Anything else that you may think to be relevant is welcome. Lots of questions, I know, but I don't want to mess with it if it is not worth the effort. (I wish to do no harm to my 1972 driver, and if anything, improve the air flow for cooling, not get in the way of it.)

Thanks!

technically i can't really comment on your spoiler.but from a cosmetic point of view i have mixed feelings.maybe it's just the fact that the spoiler has aged with the car but it doesn't seem as modern looking as other spoiler's i've seen.however it still seems to give that nose heavy look.but hey that's just my opinion and i've only had my zed for a few months so what do i know!look at this pic of a bre style spoiler.it just's looks like it belongs.
