I can barely get in and out of my garage without scraping. I hope you come up with one with a rubber bottom.

You are correct it does keep air from getting under the car. The lower pressure should also apply some downforce, like a wing only upside down. The drawback is the greater the low pressure, the more warm air that gets trapped, increasing running temps. So there will be some trial and error as to the temps your running. As there are different size motors and some cooling systems (read oil coolers) are in better shape there is no set opening size that can be cut into the rubber. It's a matter of checking your temps as you run and openig up as you need to.

The fiberglass portion will be out on Monday, the rubber is about 4 weeks out still. I'll be posting on Monday.

Well, as you may have gathered Monday didn't go quite as planned. The mold that was made from an original part picked up all the pinholes from the original. Here's a few pictures. Right now the mold is being redone. It will look the same as the one in the pictures, but without the pinholes.

I'm In for one, the low pressure behind the dam will Increase the air flow and cooling effect thru my radiator. plus the low pressure will increase handling as you mentioned before. What color will they come? black looks good for me. also what about brake ducts?

Great job !!!!

PM me with the info when you need the dough.

Thanks, Tony

Black is standard, they can be painted. The brake cooling will be accomplised via cut-outs that can added in. Should have a set next week. I will nit sell any until I'm happy with them. But this should ready next week.

The finish on those has more of a gloss than the original sample, it looks great. This will not look like an aftermarket spapped-on front dam, it will match the rocker panels, kick ass. Great Job again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm supposed to meet with James tomorrow to get my first few in hand. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Awesome! Thanks. I'll take one too!

I need to cut out an oil cooler and also fit it with dzus fasters for a race car. A rough prototype would work too!

Thanks, Rob

An update. I spoke with James today. He has had family in town and has been unable to get all of the re-tooling on the mold done to date. He has been very busy with his other product lines and has not been able to get these done. He has promised me that in 3 weeks these will be available. So, that's where te project stands right now. James is a good guy, and will do a first rate job, sometimes it just take longer to get things done when life happens. I appreciate you patience, I will start taking the orders once I have a few in hand.

Thanks,

Mark

Mike is spot on about James.

He can be slow to get stuff made, but once it is, the quality is top rate. If he does not think that the current prototype is up to snuff, I'll be happy to wait for the excellent product that he will provide.

Based on the looks of the prototype it will be a great looking spoiler at a good price.
