It's difficult to judge based on a close up as to how "good" it would look cruisin' around. Not a bad idea I suppose, it might be worth a shot; I just don't see it being too tasteful. If mounted too low, it'd be gone quick. If too high, who would see it? Hhmmm... still cool.

i donno about anyone else, but my airdam is one of thoes things my car needs,but i dont want to show it off....



go out and park your car somewhere.. either a street or a parking lot...

standing up, walk backwards until you can see your airdam.







you're pretty damn far from it eh?
imagine trying to read bearly lit small letters from that far away from under the car.


seems like a pretty stupid thing, doesnt it?

HAHA, yeah I follow everything u guys are sayin too, I took programming classes, but didn't follow my taste so I stuck with mechanics. And u'r right, a 4'thgen TA doesn't equal a 3'rdgen camaro, but the airdam's still visible about the same on both. I think it would look pretty cool if it worked good and could be easily seen, guess we won't know till someone gets one.

It is a cool idea but as much as the NOSE scrapes I am suprised the air damn is even still attached! Any bets on which letters go first and what you could spell with whats left?????
