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.

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 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.

Job interview on 2/10. Afterwards if I'm offered, definately want the kit w/rubber...
Mikey914
Feb 2 2012, 03:14 PM
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?
Mikey914
Feb 2 2012, 04:26 PM
This actually mounts on the tabs that the OEM lower metal cover would mount, there is pleanty of room behind it.

Feb 2 2012, 05:21 PM
Hmmm, i'd have to have a close look at one mounted on a car to see if there's room to mount brake cooler ducts to the spoiler.
If so, i'm in for a spoiler AND the rubber bottom ...

Is the spoiler glass? I have a flared car and would need to tweak it a bit. Do you give extra rubber so I could trim to fit??

I am noticing that you must be reproducing these from the original that is posted on my car?
Is this the same one that is mounted on the silver one? Notice the end of the Dam is squared off and the one that others are showing is not!
Which one will we be getting?
First photo is the one I want and the second I will need more details and the third one just looks different!
Maybe they modified the second one for the flairs??!

Feb 2 2012, 10:33 PM
I have one too. It can be spread a little for a flared car. I did cut a releif in both corners so it wouldn't crack...

The one that I have tooled up for is this one. We didn't add any cooling ducts, or make larger edges for flairs, however they can be modifed as some of my customers have done. The problem with setting up for flairs is that there are 2 differnt manufacturers of the steel, and also fiberglass ones. I don't have a way to assure the fit, so I made the tooling with a netural blended edge. It can be modified. It's just a matter of cost, and I'm trying to keep the cost down.

OK so it is no longer like the one on the my old silver car with the blocked edge!
It now has the smoother ends??

I'd be interested in a version that is a bit taller and has brake ducts and a oil cooler cutout and flared ends and a larger rubber lip.

Yes you can see how the edge is less defined, this is how we made the molds. The blocked edges could be done with some retooling but would add significantly to the cost. I'm trying to keep the costs down on these as much as I can. As well as keep confusion down.
BTW I was able to reduce the cost to $115.

Looks like about 14 for sure and about 6 maybes for the fiberglass portion. I was able to get the cost down from $125 to $115 as it looks like there will be some quantity.
Looks like 19 rubber sections.
Just to clarify, the rubber is added to the fiberglass section, you don't need to have the rubber, but you need the (or a ) fiberglass part to mount the rubber to.
looks like we are close enough that the rubber will get made, just need to get 6 more commitments to make it pencil out, and I'll bet there are enough older airdams that need it that we can pick up the balance.
I'm having custom boxes made for these so that they can ship easier than last time. I can't see the shipping being more than $30 as an average
