OK,
Looks like enough interest to put these back in production. They will be $115 + shipping. This is the airdam only.

I am re-valuating the rubber for these also. Before there just wasn't enough demand to produce it. But, if I can get 25 firm orders at $49 for the rubber only. I will make it. After the GB I would sell at $65, as these are a heavy rubber part

The airdams can be produced in a few weeks easily, but the rubber will require me to make a die and run it which is usually a 6-8 week process, so I will have one before the other, if there is enough interest.

The rubber will be retrofittable to the old dams, so if you have one (and I know there were a few out there) and need the rubber, you can buy just the rubber

So if you are interested post here what you want.
thx

Attched are pictures of one on my old car.

BTW- don't you love it when the new owner loves to taunt you by sending pictures like this.

Mark, your pic is a little dark. Can I assume it is the same spoiler pictured below from the other thread?

I've always loved that setup with the rubber skirt. I would definitely be in for both airdam and rubber.


(Shout out to Rhodyguy, who gave me one of those fiberglass parts at a Seattle swap meet a few years back. Thanks Kevin, always appreciated that. I had to let that car go when I moved.)

Can the rubber be added/removed as-needed?

Say you wanted to run w/o the rubber on the street (curbs/driveways etc) and with the rubber at the track.

Nathan,

The idea of the solid rubber ones made back in the 70's & 80's was to have it flex rather than break on parking lot wheel bumpers, curbs, low approach aprons on driveways, etc.

So I would assume that Mark is talking about a solid & fully flexible one for either street or track/AX for that reason - not a removable rubber cover.

I'll take one with rubber as well. PM me an address and I'll send a check for what ever the total is.
Cheers, Elliot

I bought one of marks Flexdams 2 years ago. It came with rubber which I mounted with separate brackets so I didn't poke holes in the fiberglass. I posted a few pictures back then but here is a few more.
Thanks Mark, hope all is well.

To clarify the part about being able to remove the rubber for the street, Yes, you can. The issue is the holes in the fiberglass that you would see. I guess they could be addressed with some type of plug. The bumper would come undrilled and I'm sure I could put together a hardware kit for mounting.

Stupid question, since i haven't looked at a stock frontend in forever. Where the air-dam mounts, is there enough space behind it to run brake ducts?

Or is there sheetmetal behind most of the air-dam?
