I’ve made an air dam for my 74. It’s a copy of a friend’s, but I added an air intake for when I install my oil cooler. I like it, but I now think it’s a bit short, I may make a new one. I’d like to see as many dam pic’s as I can. Dam-dam-dam!
These pic’s are before I painted it, they just show up better than the black. Attached image(s) |

Yep,
I took an old busted up plastic dam, fixed/modified it with sheet aluminum, wood, fiberglass bondo and screws, then fibreglassed it front and back. It's quite light, lighter than a stock valance. When I add a cooler I can just pull the plugs as it's sealed against the body. Thanks Rusty for the fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

I'm very sure that Mike's dam is the one I modified.

Jeff has an air dam. The others are limited edition-type spoilers. I think the distinction is that Jeff's front valence replacement "dams" oncoming air by reaching down as low to the ground as possible to try to prevent much airflow underneath the car. The LE spoiler makes no such attempt.

I ran an air dam like Jeff's for a while -- it as a little too low for the average driveway in my neck of the woods. The nice part was, since the lower part is flexible, you can trim it quite easily with a razor knife.
I'm now on a stock front valence kick, and have just installed one on my /6. It means have a spare LE front spoiler that I can change back too when I want a change. kim. |

I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind. Group: Members Posts: 121,038 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None |
Mine is not really a street spoiler but it stated out as a deep limited edition as sold by AIR. I added about 3", the brake ducts and the bottom lip. Under full braking it is about 3/8" above the track. I also tied it into the f/g bumper so it is one piece.

This is my. First I did FG mold from some aftermarket spoiler. Then I stretched the lower edge couple of cm in the mold and modified the opening for the oil cooler. Then I did this one from the mold.

Timo, if I've never said it before, I'll say it now. That is one VERY nice looking 914.

That was nice. Thank you VERY much. It is encouraging to get good feedback. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Yes, that is FG bumper. The "rubber top" is custom desing. It is smoother than the original rubber. |
