 Is this spoiler too aggressive..., ...for a narrow-body 914? |

Opinions? Oh yeah, and the subtly altered box flares on this car are insane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) pete |

Pete, you talking about the front air dam? I don't see a rear spoiler. I have run much lower front air dams. On hte track in a stock class 2.0 4Cyl. Never hads a lift issue. But then it can only go so fast.

I can barely see it. The white background on a bright day was a poor choice for a dark object. It's better to take pictures of cars on cloudy days, more even lighting and much less contrast.

Yep, I'm talking about the front air dam/front spoiler, as there is no rear one.
Can't do much about the shooter's choice on how to take those pictures, they must be 7-8 years old now. Last I heard, the car was in Canada after owner of Kinesis sold it for ~ $30k. Still, I managed to grab one of these front spoilers and am thinking about replacing my fiberglass, aftermarket SE spoiler with it. I like the way it ties the foglight areas together. I measure 4.9 inches maximum depth (at outside corners) on the SE and 5.375 inches depth (all the way across) on the new one. Thoughts? pete |

Airdam is nice, works well with the shape of the car, others I have seen do not.
But I could do without the red rims (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |

It looks like the ends of the air dam falre out a little to match the beginning of the GT flares.. might be asy to fix, might not.
