The LE air dam is fine for air flow and screws in to the stock locations. Do a search for air dams and engine cooling to find the older threads on this subject.

QUOTE(Krieger @ Aug 18 2014, 06:58 PM)  I remember some people claiming there is an engine cooling issue for four cylinder cars using spoilers like this. The claim is that the LE airdam is raised up in the center allowing enough air under the car to hit the black plastic deflectors on the underside of the car to help draw air through the engine. I found this to be true. Back when I had a 2.0/4, I was running a 'deep' LE-style spoiler and was running hot. At some point I decided to change to a regular LE and my temps went down. This was on a motor without any external oil cooler. |

I'm not doing the deep one. Just wondering if my engine will run hot with a "shallow?" LE spoiler

You can run the flexdam without the rubber, or even modify the rubber by cutting. I've run mine without the rubber and it's fine. The LE looks good two, so really its a matter of preference. The airflow wasn't an issue for me, but I'm not running mine hard, and it's not my daily driver, so if it's really hot, I'm not driving it.

Do you have a picture of your Flexdams with out the rubber? |
