What Air Dam is This?

Flat on my back with a blown disc. Watching Mighty Car Mods on YouTube. Kind of amusing watching them make the same mistakes I made!

I really like the nose of the car. Anyone know what this air dam is?

SelectMaz comes to mind, but I'm thinking it's Aussie; the angled front, along with the splitter and round intake holes seem to match that design, and rarely found in the US. Have a search and feel better,

I have never seen it here in the states so I am thinking the same as others have pointed that it's probably outside the U.S. I had the one with the two small boxes for the fog lights on each lower corner. I really like this one since it does away with the fog light boxes and allows more air into the radiator.

Does indeed look like its Australian. Makes sense... since Mighty Mods is Australian. "Its a carby!"

I feel your pain, in 1981 I ruptured my L 4/5 disc on the flight deck USS Coral Sea pushing an F4 back on to elevator 4 during aircraft recovery. Not a lot of fun however, it was eventually surgically removed years later and problems since. Hope you heal fast because "shifting" can be problematic in your condition. :-(

It's usually part of a "Group C" body kit, for 1980s Australian racing, not the 1980s FIA regulations for Le Mans.
I have not seen a one piece version like that.
Rotary Engineering has a similar one but it's only the lower piece and the factory bumper is still required.

Hurt your back pushing a Phantom fighter jet!!!! Certainly beats my origin story of slinging a bag of clothes over my shoulders on the way home to have my mom do my laundry.

Maybe, but it still hurts the same!
