Any info on the front air dam? Never seen one except on this car. Pic came from the "track pictures" in the paddock. Can't remember from who. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

You looking for that front end air dam or just want to install a splitter?

What it looks like to me is a PMS bumper and lower bumper with a splitter fiber glassed on. The little areo mods (downward wings) were fabricated and likely bolted or glassed on.

BTW splitters and ducktails work.

Looks like my old air dam with some mods. I'm not using it anymore and would be willing to part with it.

Yes, I took a Lower Valance like Woody's, bonded it to a GT Style Valance and Painted it. I made the Dive Planes from Aluminum and they were Riveted On.

All worked well until I hit a Huge Raccoon coming back from Sebring! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Splitters don't like animals or off road excursions. The good news is that they can be easily fixed and made to look like new.

Got lots of fiber glass experience with my surf board hitting the rocks at Santa Cruz. We didn't have leashes then.

It sucked when I sliced & diced the Raccoon! Thanks to zip-ties & ducttape, I made it home - the lower part of the custom valance was in a million pieces

I like the pics posted. I have this fiberglass contraption on my car now and I'm not to stoked about it. See pic.
My oil cooler will be heading up front one day, and I like the idea of dive planes to balance out the opening under the car.
