I am one of the fortunate people to have one of the best looking airdams ever made for these cars, but unfortunatly this airdam wont work with my frontmount. Solution=Cut it the "F" up .
To start you need 1 Kenne Bell (good luck finding one)
Corugated cardboard
Fiberglass sheets, and resin.
scissors, and razor blades.
Duct tape
Sand paper to rough the surface up with
And last but not least, BEER
Basically I trimmed the airdam to fit around my intercooler pipes. Then used the cardboard to make a template (mold?). Then bend and tape the cardboard to the design you are trying to accomplish. Lay fiberglass on top and apply resin. I used some staples to hold the fiber down tight on the flat surfaces and even some of the curved ones. I still have to cut some original material away, then I will put some glass mat on the underside to make it more durable.
I know what your thinking "cardboard" . If you sandwich the cardboard in between the fiberglass you could probably beat someone to death with it, it makes it extremely strong.
Obviously it isnt finished yet. I still need to apply more glass, bondo, sand, trim....yada yada
The scoop will now direct air into the rad, and trans cooler, any maybe put some downforce on the nose
