What's on your Air Dam besides bugs?

Thought I post up an Idea I had for making the Air Dam look better haven't seen anyone do anything beside bend a license plate around it. Chris from CE coatings did a great job; he is helping me on a couple of projects this winter, The camaro letters a polished billet alum, opinions welcomed.

Re: What's on your Air Dam besides bugs?

thats what I was thinking. Looks great but why not use spray paint and just touch it up when you need to?

Yea. It's not so much what's on my air dam, as what's missing. That thing hits EVERYTHING. And in short parking spots it's virtually required to run up onto the curb so no one takes off the rear end of your car.

Looks nice though. Might put it on at shows. Switch it with a stocker before you leave.

Re: What's on your Air Dam besides bugs?

a dental dam.

jk.

I agree with all comments about not driving the car with that thing on.. you've put too much work into it to just tear it up. Since opinions are welcome, it's not my cup of tea. If your car is lowered, you'd really have to wrench your neck to even see it..

Looks good, but it seems like it would get destroyed the first time the airdam scrapes anything (which doesn't take very long)

Re: What's on your Air Dam besides bugs?

Looks good. I can't wait to see it on the car.

As jason said Its a show car not a daily driver. BUT DO NOT think its a TRAILER QUEEN because ITS NOT !!

He drives it to all the shows. The underside is clean enough to eat off.
This is how it hibrinated for winter.
