I like Timo's bumper/spoiler as well, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
But I have to run a front license plate so my cooler hole would have to be different.
I really like the look of the top rubber bumper pad.

Thanks Timo, you just made me a bunch more work, thanks a lot. :finger2:

Here's mine. Not terribly aerodynamic, but light and decent looking.

This spoiler is not very streetable. It's like 2" lower than an "LE" type.

Probably not what you are looking for, but it's another chance for me to post one more pic of my car. Just like the one directly above, this shot is also from Willow Springs. As you can see the front bumper has been tweeked a time or two. I'm getting better with fiberglass repair, but also care less about having it look perfect. I think it's about time for a new one. It does its job. Good air flow to the radiator and brake ducts.

Rather than start a new topic, I decided to drudge this one up.

The jerkoff that towed my /6 home a few weeks ago cracked my front air dam. The towing company says they'll make it right, if I don't go to their insurance. So, I'm going to give them a chance.

Has anyone every used/seen a front spoiler with brake ducts already molded in? Tweeks has one in a recent catalog (page 141, for those at home). It's about 80 bucks. They don't have it mounted on the car, so it's difficult to see what it looks like as a package.

thoughts?

This is the "ultimate Air Dam" from Pelican Parts. The brake ducts are built in, and it runs about $240.

I can't find ANYONE else that sells one, cause I think this one is the best looking one out there..... Any suggestions on where to find one besides PP??

everybody sells that one, just called different things.

AA sells it, so does Tweeks (with or without ducting).

I think that ultimate air dam... looks like the ultimate POS.

It's the 80s version, over-done, big-hair, parody of all air dams... and if a car pulled up with one, I'd wonder how many clowns would pile out.

I think the Ultimate air dam it a little big for the car, if it was smaller, it might look better.

Anyone have any pictures of the air dam in tweeks? I like it, and I think it could compliment the lines very well. I just havent seen it on a 914 yet..

Here's a pic of the ultimate air dam on my car. It came from automotion (before the merger). It was thin and not well made. I had to repair it five times in one year. Just too close to the ground for street use. I've since gone back to the origianl steel valance.

The only "clowns that ever got out of my car were the ones in the passenger seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif)

That Tweeks ad describes the flex dam I had on my '72. Looked good and was curb friendly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Are you saying it looks like the "ultimate air dam"? If so, I see no resemblance. The picture doesnt show it, but it looks like it is the factory stock steel one with a "splitter" on the bottom and ducts. My guess is that it is about 5 in shorter than the "ultimate air dam"

How does it look?
Ya, I have a flex dam on my car (took off the flex part, i didnt like it) and I personally think its junk. I will leave it on there till I find a suitable replacement and I think the one I showed in tweeks is what im leaning twards.
