junk the air dam. besides, pasadena has too many speed bumps or humps whatever you want to call it and they are even larger and higher than the ones in LA.

I like it both ways actually. It's your car and your money, make it how YOU like it! I find that my first impression is normally the true one. Your gut reaction. Nothng wrong with thinking it through but sometimes the more I pick it apart, the more confusing it gets.

If it fit properly I would like it. I'm assuming you just mocked it up like that?

It's the same one that I cut apart to make my front end.
Nice flares/wheels. Sweet looking combo.

IMHO, it would look at it's best with the air dam on and flares paint-matched, but to each their own.

When mounted and ducted correctly it makes a huge difference in stability and steering feel at anything over 60-65mph.

I say "with" but then again I have been running that front for years.
