Air dam

What kinds of air dams are you running on your S/A? I like the Mariah mode 4 but they are no longer in business. I have seen one that I think is a from a 935 Porsche, not sure though. I need ideas car is at the body shop. Pics would be great! Thanks!

I have this air dam on my 1979. I bought the car from the original owner. before he put the air dam on the car, he made a mold. The yellow is some tape and used because the air dam is cracked.

Blacktie motors makes this one which is based on the old skool Kamie air dam.

Is this official? Have you spoken with them directly? If so it's a very sad day, I would hate knowing that they are out of business now.

Alexis Tretheway in Austrailia runs Fibremaz and he makes replica Kamei air dams that are extremely high quality.

I personally have an IMSA fiberglass replica front air dam on my car currently, Duraflex sells the same thing (although mine didn't come from there) online for pretty cheap.

I like the slope of the current front end, and I have 3" holes feeding intakes. I am thinking something more like this. and I have zero drawing skills. I am pretty good at making stuff though. see picture, and you can get an idea.
