Jim has an orange 75 at his shop right now with backdated bumpers and that spoiler on it....I think. Call him and ask if he can send a pic. He probably already has one. I was just up there at Patrick Motorsports on Thursday.

How would you rate the quality of the spoiler? Easy to fit? I think they look pretty good.

Ron S. from Walterboro, SC, has a similar spoiler on his orange six project car. He shows it in his avatar, a front end photo of his car.

I've had this one on the car for a couple years now.


It did take a good deal of effort,to contour it to fit.Also,it is not available pre-flared.Ya gotta do it yourself.


It turned out ok for me.

I also designed & lasered the ducting grills from 16ga. stainless and polished'em.

Thanks for the pictures. I am not going to flair the fenders so that is not an issue. I have been looking for a "good looking" but actually functional front spoiler. There doesn't seem to be much out there these days.

Isn't that a Flexdam? That is originally what I was looking for but they are NLA. Then I have been looking for a deeper LE spoiler, which this one is the closest I could find, plus have an opening for the oil cooler which is planned future upgrade.

Yep. You called it; It's a flexdam. I waited about 5 months before it finally delivered.
It fit close to perfect. Didn't need to trim it at all.
IMHO I think it looks less "70's" wink.gif than any of the other air dams I found available.

I like those flexdams the best.

Yes, tell us where you got it.

I found it in a AA catalog & ordered it...
That was before I got hosed on a different order I placed with AA.
But hey, a damn good thing I didn't call & complain about it being "available" & then after I placed my order it was "on-back-order" for five months!!!

They probably would have canceled my order if had complained. That's what AA does when you ask for shipping "status".

I've since learned my lesson. No more AA stromberg.gif 4 me.
Good Luck,

I actually e-mailed AA about the flexdam they have listed, they told me it was NLA, they thought that the company that made them "lost the mold".

LOW to the ground, gel finish quite suseptable (sp) to stones, but made to "work with" the oil cooler set-up.

The "Ultimate Air Dam" is the one you were wanting the pictures of.

I have not installed that one. I just brightened up the pics that were posted.

Here's a "Flex Dam" on my '75 from years back.

Maybe you've seen/heard about the "Sweeper Dam"

If you're using Firefox (Netscape too I think), right-click an avatar, choose "view image" and you'll get an instant full-sized version. If IE, then I think you'll have to right-click and save it, then open it.

Yeah, 7's avatar does look better bigger! Be sure and view xitspds' too! And Shelby's...

I have that one too; and also just got another flavor called the "ultimate air dam" that has much more of a forward horizontal splitter but is virtually identical in the upper portion. (I cut out a large section for the oil cooler intake).
