That is exactly what I'm talking about and my bumper does not have it. Does it get removed when you install the air dam?
My bumper was replaced a while back. I wonder if the body shop removed it when they installed the air dam. Or perhaps it is a separate piece they never ordered. |

I may have a work around :)
|
yeah it should be there,,,
be careful with work arounds the V accent helps to ensure minimal flex at speed of the lower lip below the air dam |
I would go back to the body shop that did your repair and chew them out for not replacing that air dam to begin with....crooks
|
OK I have it temporarily mounted and will have some pics posted soon. It is not permanent but will discuss that in a bit.

it's been 6 minutes.... ;)

The bumper either has the air dam or the black plastic piece, they are interchangeable. You're car has always had the appearance package, right? So you would have never needed that black plastic piece. When I had my air dam installed, the dealership asked if I wanted to keep the black plastic piece, but it was busted up a bit from a rock hit so I told them to toss it.
Are you sure that the Leg lip won't fit over the OEM air dam? Others like the Burnout and I believe R-Magic will fit over either stock or AP (I think I've read that anyway). Looking at those first pics it looks like it would fit over the air dam. |
Hard to get decent shots at night time. Does not help my car is dirty either. Anyway here are the temporary mounted pics!

looks great
why is this temporary now? |
I broke the air dam removing it from the bumper so I got creative with the Dremel :) I basically cut it down to fit inside the Leg lip. Also it provides support for the lip just as the other piece would have. Tomorrow I need to do a few more modifications to the OE air dam to get all the screws to fit.

good deal, looks sick.

Well, it looks great. Hopefully it doesn't take too much more work.
|
Thanks...Tomorrow I should be able to get better pics because these suck :lol2:
|
Looks awesome man, I'm very jealous. Glad you took the plunge :)
Better pics are in order! |
I should have took pics of how I cut up the air dam. The pic below is from eBay. Anyway everything in black was removed so the Leg lip can slip over. Obviously not to scale but it gives you the general ideal what was done.

Well your original air dam im interested as long as it may fit! give me a pm! when you get it fixed. also nice cf lip omg so sexy.
|
haha the OE air dam has been sacrificed. I cut it up to temporarily mount the leg lip. Soon I will order the correct part so it can be mounted properly.
|
what are you doing man its not made to fit over the AP just get the parts right and do the right thing I cant believe your gonna spend all this money to have an extremely exclusive part just to hack some shit up and jerry rig the whole thing....:banghead::banghead::banghead:
