Anyone recognize this front air dam in white? I like the look and was curious if it is still made.

Thx.

Probably does not help you much, but coincidentally......

Is it this one? If so We have the mold and have been making them. Can do fiberglass or Carbon fiber.

Top pick is high res not the best photo but you can see it better if you click on it.

Posted by: Zimms Feb 23 2021, 05:45 PM

That could be it! Any chance you have a photo of one on a car?

Where can we see what all you have in production? Not seeing these on your site and curious what else you might have that I don't know about.

Needing a few things...

Funny,
Made 3 of these to get pictures and listed on the website.
We've sold them. I'll do up a few more and get these listed.
Assuming they don't sell them when I'm out again.

And another closer one--Note: the discoloration on the bumper and fender is not actually there--it's a figment of your imagination...nothing to see here, move along....Attached Image

I think that one is AIR and it also comes with brake ducts. Too low for me to use as a daily with a driveway.

Well we did pill a sample of one we are working on right now that will have a complete brake cooling kit as an option too!

It looks like this one without the brake ducts.

Or this one with oil cooler opening.

The air one is definitely more like the one I posted pics of last.

For this one I can do

Cosmetic carbon fiber (clear) $375
Carbon fiber with black Gel coat $288
Fiberglass in black gel coat $208

When comparing prices also look at shipping
I can ship this to Chicago Il zip 60661 for $40
It's dimensional weight so price is same for all

I just happen to have (in fiberglass) one in a box right now PM me if you want it.

I can sell the one I have,
I just don't have a car with an oil cooler cut out to mount it to.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Feb 24 2021, 10:54 PM

This is a funky shape. It's like a deep LE attached to the bottom of a stock GT round under. Made for a GT flared car too? Was this part of the Sheridan collection?

Maybe,
It may also be from another company that we bought out their molds that did work for the factory racing team. There were even some 911 goodies there too
Here's a before and after to give you an idea of what we have had to do to some of these molds.

And for those of you that know 911s, take a good look at the lid. This isn't an ordinary lid.

Looks like a 930 lid beer.gif
When the 76 is closer, I'll need one of those carbon fiber front spoilers.

I recognize that air dam because it's the same one as on my car which can be purchased here:

https://www.americaninternationalracing.com/product/914-racing-air-dam-with-forward-lip/

I had mine molded in black

It looks like they cut a hole out for the cooler similar to what I did.

Actually the AIR one is different in that it would have to be cut and add in a sloped intake.
Mine has the area ready to be cut out with less modification. It looks to be the same as the green car. You can see the slope in the shadow

Posted by: tomeric914 Feb 27 2021, 12:25 AM

Not debating that your air dam is the better choice for a front cooler.

The OP's question was "whose dam is it" and it is definitely the AIR International dam at the link in my post. I have a love/hate relationship with the damn dam because it is the tallest one I know of and I hit it on EVERYTHING. I swear I've repaired it about 10 times now. dry.gif

I stand corrected.
I saw a little "rib" like the one on my part where there really wasn't one. It looks like the "scoop" is just pushed forward past the fiberglass.

Ha. Front Brake ducts.

I dare people to take actual racing brake temps

Mine by the way were 1500F rear
600 F front

Guess what
All of my front brake cooling ducts are now removed

I went 2 steps softer compound in the front pads
And lowered my front spring rates to get more dive/more weight transfer/more front temps

I would highly recommend checking your actual brake temperature s before thinking of cooling them
