It just kills me that these folks who manufacture these FG dams, bumpers, etc. just cannot figure out how to do the ends to line up properly with the wheel wells, bumper insets, etc. I saw similar problems on the one Scotty did for Dr.Evil's 914.

I assume that you'll be doing some extra glassing to get it to line up with the extended line of the wheel well arches.

Yep. Glass will arch to match wheel wells. Think of this as a rough draft.
The important thing to remember is although these cars were mass produced, I fitted this to 3 different cars and had 3 different fits....
So, My idea is to creat a 1/2 - 3/4 inch buffer at the end of the air dam. you can trim to fit with out losing the structure.
