I added the air dam today,
My Wife dosnt like it, my kids dont like it, I like it
Do you like it Before or After ???
BEFORE
AFTER
Who drives it?
I like mine with the body coloured bumpers.
I gotta say that I don't like it as much with the chrome.
Sorry dood.
I lean more towards the stock look but I think it would look better if you where to go with fender flares too. However, you should keep if you like it and that's the look your going for, nothing wrong with it. Wondering, if you've notice any change in performance, is it functional?
With all due respect for your wife and kids. I think it looks great. You may however notice a slight rise in oil temp. Maybe. I really like the look.

Just take the rubber part off and you have a nice option!

Its faster now.
whose car??? keep it!!!!
but then again I'm divorced!! What do I know!!!!!!
I am an air dam guy. But I think it looks better on Elliot's car. Yours looks better stock.
But I believe you should do whatever you like. Why would you care about what I like on your car?
Agree that it is your car, so do with it what you want.
With that said, I also agree that if it were me, I would go w/o the rubber skirt - too much for an otherwise stock car IMHO.
I like mine, see below, but with that said, there will be those who say otherwise...
If you keep the air dam / rubber skirt combo be careful with steep driveways, big speed bumps, etc. When my car was lowered (below), I couldn't get out of my driveway without hitting the rubber skirt. Now you may think no big deal it's rubber, but the problem is that if you hit the skirt hard enough it will deform the air dam and may cause it to crack. Mine was cracked in three places before I eventually dumped it and went back to the stock valance.
Nice pics.
Does anyone have pictures of this front spoiler, with and without the rubber extension, on a 1975 or 1976 car with the safety bumpers?
I have the LE spoiler on my 1976 car and am considering something deeper.
Also, does anyone have pictures of this spoiler, with and without the extension, on a car with the Rennenmetal flat towing bracket? I am curious about potential tow bar clearance issues and what people have done to solve clearance problems.
I would like to have a deeper spoiler on my car all the time but I want to be able to flat tow it, too, without having to take the spoiler off. That may mean that I would have to do a little cutting on the spoiler and I wonder if anyone has done that already.
Rather than answer your question.
I did the exact same thing to two 914s I owned in the '70s and want to point out the obvious. You now have lower ground clearance. The reason I mention this is that I totally messed up one of my air dams while driving on uneven pavement where there was a slightly high crest in the middle of the lane. If I recall, it cracked the air dam and I had to replace it -- and avoid driving in that area.
The car looks beautiful and I love those Fuchs on that color car.
I like the fiberglass alone, but it's a little cleaner.
Sorry no safety bumpers

I had that same choice 3 years ago. Car was being repainted and I had an LE spoiler ready to put on. After a lot of deliberation I decided I liked the sleek look of the stock valance with body colored bumpers. I've been very pleased with that decision. I think it makes the car look a little longer.
I like it better before....but the spoiler looks cool. Just keep both and alternate! :-)
i like the LE version
i dont like that rubber thing (garage door base seal?)
