Well Ive been looking around and I found one 20min away from me for $100 already painted bronze mist. The only issue is that when researching about the air dam ive come across some variances in the installation. Some have gaps and some don't. Im looking to get it tight to the bumper. Ive seen some where there is a 1in gap inbetween the bumper and the air dam. Is there a proper way of installing it? I know it bolts on to fender bolts, and you need double sided tape. But what is the proper installation?

No need for double sided tape, but you can use if you want. If it sticks an inch away from the bumper they don't have it installed correctly. I had to make new holes for mine. If I used the holes already there in the fenderwell I found it sagged and would leave the gap that your talking about.

Have someone else hold up one side of the air dam in the right spot while you work on the other side. Remove the front wheels. It's not necessary but easiest, if you don't you'll have to crank the wheels one way to get some screws in and then crank the other way to get the rest, and the whole time you'll be fighting the wheel. Push the airdam up flush with the bottom of the wheel well or until it fits nicely with the foglight and then screw it in. Do the same with the other side. You may want to add a screw in the middle as well just incase. Just use some screws and don't over tighten, it's just plastic and they'll start to spin and they won't be tight.

EDIT: Also, I think i'm the only one on this site who actually has the SD air dam lol.

Ah I see well the person I was talking about with the 1in gap is REDGTX. Meanwhile I saw how tight yours is to the bumper. Thats why I was wondering.

I also edited the post with install tips ;P

Hmmm sound like it is from FLIP's SD front air dam same color? I think RI and MA is close right? I thought it is supposed to be mine for next year install when I drop my car? I already ask him for this last month. He says yes, I can hold it for you in Spring 2009. I ask him ok can I pay you for $100. He says just pay me in Spring 2009. I say fine but now sound like you are getting this one since he doesn't want to shipping this out. If he sold it then I would ask him where is mine? :rolleyes:

A lot of people back out of deals. Maybe he thought you did? I don't really know man.

No, I'm not back off the deal. All I got his message that just pay me in Spring 2009 when I bring my car over there for huge body work on my baby like install side skirt, lower door molding, roof rail and sd front air (unknown right now if it is gone or not)

It would probably be best to contact him, and find out where you stand.

Their are hundreds of air dams out there man, it is not necessarily FLIP's.

I guess it doesn't matter. ChrisGT can have it since he is nearly by. I'm sure FLIP would like it gone and have some $ right away.

I would buy new SD Front Air Dam from pfyc.com but their shipping cost as same my F1 hood shipping is totally bs. No big deal. We don't have like "written agreement" or something. That's his choice if he want to change his mind. I think my stock front bumper look much better without them.

HE HAS 2 lol Im guessing 1 of them is yours. Getting all worried over nothing palsut :p If he only had one and it was promised to you I wouldn't move on it bro, im not like that + I doubt hes like that either. Also I haven't picked it up yet I'm asking about installation before I do.

Also flips is for $100 and I was looking at 1 for $80 but when I saw pics it was warped and scratched up and pretty far in NY. Then I found FLIPS and he had two. I asked if it was still for sale he said he had another one same color.

lol I have no idea he has two of them. I'm not worry about that. It is just car part. I just let him do whatever he wants. I can't control if he wants sell it out for breaking "hold it for me". It always happen all the times when seller want to change mind to sell other person who might buy it now instead wait it out. I'm not really angry at him if he wants to sell it instead hold it for me. Like I say it is no big deal until you told me he has two lol

lol sorry bro I should have stated that when I changed buyers. But yea he has two of them. I didn't want you to think bad of him because he does have two.

gosh i need you guys buy me, i would be full of work, gosh flip is a busy guy

well wtf is in Iowa? probobly the same as Belleville....nothing.

If you lived down here I would have plenty of paint work for you to do. My friends and I have no one to go to.

SEE andrew, you n me can move to florida and you can start a shop down there!!!

lol yes.. 01 gt and 4drgt need become gay lover then make some money for new body shop in Florida. It should be work

No problem. I didn't yell/tell Flip about that. I just let whatever he wants to

Since I have no luck to find my local body shop so I choose FLIP. GM dealership cost too much for me because of stupid labor hour. FLIP is like 13-14 hours from me. He has SE "catfish" model. He has done installed sd front air dam, roof rail, gt front/rear bumpers, and lower door molding with sideskirt.

All I need roof rail, sd front air dam, lower door molding with sidekirt install. We already talk about plan in Spring 2009. We both agree like 3 months ago. Now, I found local member who is good skill paint. I just like damn FLIP or local member (around 2-3 hours from my area)? I would stick with FLIP because he work it over 25 years. Plus, I have seen his awesome work like he done with SE model to GT/P look.

Ive been to bellevile....your right ther is nothing there..CN...the bulls...thats it..oh ya and the timmies

The most noticeable problem is mounting it to the center pillar of the bumper. Some people have drilled holes and used screws to hold it in place. I know flip used a dremel and shaved a little of the material on the actual SD air dam to have it sit flush on the bumper and used 3M tape to hold it on.

Also, I plan have SD front air dam mold too. I don't want this thing pop out in middle of highway like clubgp member have that problem that he ran it over lol

The center pillar is what I'm worried about. Ive seen some that have a gap others that don't. I don't want to mold it so Ill follow Hutch's advice.

maybe it will change your mind for mold it instead screw and tape it?

It is from clubgp member's car.

Granted that looks gorgeous, but seems kinda pricey? + I wouldn't mind being able to remove it when there's a couple feet of snow :p

I don't know how much it cost. I'm still waiting for FLIP to tell me when I plan have it mold and plate cover too. That's why my car is summer so it won't drive snow.

But you have to realize the guy that this happened to did not install all of the tape. It was basically being held in one location. Thats why it fell off.

Oh really? I think I forgot. It was like 2 years ago. All I got memory that he took picture of SD broken half in highway lol

Either one. I think mold look good like kill gap.

Yea but have you seen Hutch's? His is not molded and has no gap.

Most of the ones I have seen look pretty good. I need to get mine on. Its been sitting in the garage painted and its ready to be put on.

that guy with the white gp lives in michigan doesnt he?

Well where is picture? If it is from his sig then that's photochop sig. He has crappy rusty car so he make it "perfect". Sorry R. Hutch

The Guz: What hell are you waiting for? Put that on your bumper and show me picture! So I can decide since we have same color. Maybe see how black projector look like with it.

BoostenGTP02: I don't remember. I saved it from photobucket to show FLIP about if he can mold it.

Lol ask Boosten if the pics he used were edited, he made the sig.

My hood does have lots of chips I won't argue that but you're not going to see in pictures taken from 50 ft.

Get a clue, bud.

Wheres the guy in NY that selling ti for $80??

reason i ask Pat is because that car is my friend Ayman's, hes in my car club, we hung out like last saturday for a club party, its a GT, and that car is effing SICK looking.

Yes, that's him. I do remember that name "Ayman". I saved his picture last summer. I don't spend lot of time at clubgp. Yeah, this picture look pretty awesome. I hope FLIP can make it like this one if he can.

i knew it the thing that caught my eye was the projectors and grills, thats how i know his car.

a few pics for your viewing pleasuer....
