Xenon Fibreglass air dam.

Just picked this up tonight. I'm going to rivet it onto the car. I blocked it with 320, than went to hit it with a coat of shell white, and the can of paint I just bought didn't work. The nozzle is f'ed. So I'm going to bring that back to crap tire tomorrow for a refund. Puts me back a day. Should look pretty slick. I think it's for an SA, but I'll make it work.

Yeah it'll take some effort to make it work. I'd buy it off you but shipping from Canadia would probably kill me LOL

Here's the unfinished product. Need to trim the bumper cover before putting it back on. I cant make it over the bump at the end of my driveway without scrapping.

gorgeous, any chance you could get it to go over the bumper skin? i think it would look better that way


p.s. any more pics of your car, i like your paint scheme and may need to steal it.

Yeah I know it's for an SA, but I made it work. Today I trimmed the bumper cover to fit, and filled in the holes that were in the bumper from the headlight sprayers, and there was a random hole from I don't know what. I just put a layer of fibreglass on the back side of the cover, than Bondo over the top. Just need to put the trim back on. Not the cleanest job, a few rivets here and there, but I'm happy.


This is what I cut off the bumper cover.


Holes I filled.










The trim will cover the seam, and the 3 rivets.

That's not the molding, I removed the molding. Thats the double sided tape that held the molding on. I left the tape on, cause it's a bitch to get off, and it will seal the air dam against the body, keep it from chaffing. Once I put the moldings back on you won't see it.

A little bit of ground effects knowledge. I love em, the lower the better. Never hit an elevation change head-on. Enter everything at an angle and your chances will be much better. I Had this same spoiler mounted to a 78 Mustang II , it fit lke it was made for it. The original owner had it removed from his 7 at the bodyshop I worked at because it hit everywhere. Looks good!
