I took mine off to get to the fogs, now I'm gonna replace it, since it's already off.

Show me what you got and tell me where you got it (if you know).

Mine came with my car as seen (except the chips). It's fiberglass.

Old flexdam with shortened rubber- attached with pop rivets and metal strip backing. Flanges were fiberglassed on the sides to match the fenderwell lip. Dave H

I got mine from a company about 12 years ago. It was made just for the 914 and installed with out any modifications. The company went out of business soon after I got the bumper.

Got mine from A.I.R.
It came with typically PP fit,had to flare the ends cause it didn't have any.Valance oil cooler cutout was off by 1-1/2" from the spoiler.All in all,a week or 2's worth of work to make it look acceptable.

nope, the one I posted is different.

It kinda looks like the snowplow AA lists, but is different.

Posted by: seanery Aug 26 2004, 10:39 AM

OK, I found that one. It is at AA. It's called Front Spoiler without brake ducts.

was just in contact with the manufacturer of the flex dam and got one. He no longer has the rubber though.

Posted by: Ferg Aug 30 2004, 12:38 PM

Did he say anthing about how many he has, or if production will resume? It took me 4 months to find mine second hand. Sometime in the future I may need another. Could you pm me his contact info.

OOPS just saw the other thread, nevermind.

Posted by: seanery Aug 30 2004, 12:43 PM

He said he had 5 of them, and still had the molds.

I wonder what the molds would cost? confused24.gif

Gee and you know someone who works in rubber. wink.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: Chris H. Aug 30 2004, 04:03 PM

I love that valence. It matches up so well with the 914 lines it looks like it could be stock. If I backdate my bumpers I would love to have one.

Someone buy the molds!

Posted by: Aaron Cox Aug 30 2004, 04:19 PM

anyone have pics of a 914 running the snowplow spoiler...kinda like a boss 302 chin spoiler rolleyes.gif

Posted by: Andyrew Aug 30 2004, 05:44 PM

I HATE the flexidam front spoiler.... looks SO out of place...

But take off the flexi part, and youve got a nice front bumper!!!!

Btw, Mine is for sale for those that said you needed a flexidam... The fiberglass piece got some beatings... could use a going through.... but the flexidam is good (Hmm I wonder why...) $100.. and right now, I wont ship it... nother 2 months.. maybe... (Sounds like I really dont want to sell it, eh? LOL)

Posted by: Hi_Fi_Guy Aug 30 2004, 05:44 PM

Patrick Motorsports... he may also have some without the oil-cooler and brake ducts.
