another

those look pretty sweet.... I wanna see some install pics

they will be in this thread

stop wasting board space with bracket pictures

who the *** are you??? stop wasting space with your damn usless posts

He's from Tokyo. Do they even have Camaro's over there?

Brackets look plenty strong enough...let's see them installed.

they got a bunch of rice

we have snow over here

No one gives a damn.

lmao.

stop telling people who have almost 2000 post on this board to stop wasting space.

-fly

can i tell u since you only have 100?

What's your problem? Those brackets are useful information because all our cars have air dams (or should) and he is showing us how he is setting up his. This might be a very good idea for those who lost their air dam and they might want to try his way of doing it. So why don't you just chill out a little. Geez

Yeah!

Looks nice!

Didn't we Bomb the **** out of Tokyo??

They look sweet, how are you going to install them? I had a metal dam made, should be on this weekend, I will have pics and what size it is.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dirk with a non tech post thats a :nono: you are gonna get in trouble

i am going to get longer screws/bolts for it. and use the stock air dam for now. although i could easily just buy a sheet of metal and use that. my car is going to the shop so....... it might be a while

So you are going to drill holes in the metal. Those should help, just becarefull where you park, it will connect to your core support!!

yeah careful level will be going up a bit. holes are going to be drilled in them pretty soon.

whoa dirk beat me to it!! but seriously guys, i don't wanna close this thread due to a couple bad apples, and waste even more server space...

Uhhh we have airdams on our cars?

I don't think we do, that is why I had one custom made and I am going to try to make it work. I heard it does!!

you are a weirdo

At least I don't wear a dress.

and what makes you think that mr mod. dont waste space you are supposed to be mature

i don't believe the qualifications for being a moderator include being mature..

lol :crying: i want to be a mod i want to be a mod i want to be a mod

I made brackets out of that adjustable strap stuff that has pre drilled holes in it. I bent them to push the air dam forward and they bend when I scrap, just means I have to go under and push them back into shape.

Sounds like a plan. I'd worry about the supports in the original post being too strong. When the air dam gets bent back on a curb, it could damage the attachment points for the brackets. Also, the ones in the pictures look like they're at 90°. I believe a new air dam is raked slightly forward to be more effective. Mine has taken on a curve over time, raked forward at the top and back at the bottom. There is actually a notch in the reinforcing at each end, allowing it to bend back instead of straining the attachment points at the top.

what is ur problem dude?

im just joking around, DUDE

alright man, sorry if i jumped to conclusions or thought u were trying to be an a$$

thats cool. i was wondering why you jumped my *** like that

My computer should be up and going in about two days, so you will have to wait till then to get pics. I installed a metal air dam. But instead of going with a 90* bend I went more of a 75* ish. But to make up for the angle and shortness, I just made the metal longer. But right now I am having an overheating problem!! I think it is my thermo stat, will find out this weekend. I bought a 195*, but for the summer I think I will run a 180*. And luck with the metal straps? Are they installed? Any improvements?

they are not installed. i have been having problems with the car (fuel pump). but now that that is solved it is raining so...

Just because they have a lot of posts doesn't mean those weren't wastes of server space(see: Mark A. Shields)

I didn't know the air dam had some special mounts to make it work, but good job using the right parts for the job!

and your point of this was

lol I don't have one either damn body shop took it off and I just realized its gone

Body shops will do that! they also will remove the cover that goes from the rad to the nose where the hood latch is and they won't put it back on.

I took my airdamn off myself.

Yea well so far the car runs fine without one. Never goes over 215 and with my stop and go driving most of the time the fan is on and the car runs at 190. I am still going to get one as soon I can find a really cheap one.

.25 bucks at dealer

Brody, are you going to use those to reinforce the dam from the rear side of it? remember what the dam mounts to. the stock setup if the dam is struck will distort the mounting holes for the fasteners. you might wanna think twice, it's got to have some movement otherwise it's going to rip right out if you hit it.

right, right, right you are. which is my i am no longer going to used those. i have the same thing with 1/2" pipe in my garage now. the pipe will reinforce it but bend if necessary.

Wow dirk posted! Nice job where did you get the brackets from?

Well still no pics yet, but it turns out to have been my thermo. It went bad in only one year. Well the 195* is in it with my home made air dam, and on hte highway I have yet to turn on my fan!! By the way if your thermostat locks up in the closed postition, your motor will get to about 240ish!!! No I can do 85 and never worry. Hopefully the pics will be up here by the end of the week.

Nice brackets!

I liberated some checker plate from work, and made one up.

i so totally want that. i want that so bad! my only question is wouldnt that rub on sume curbs/speed bumps?

Yes It does! I built it in two halves, so I can unbolt the bent bottom half, and replace it. Either that or I just bend it forwards a bit more. Doesn't half do the job tho'.

Has anyone tried wiring the airdam to thwe front bumper reinforcement I did that with mine and it works just fine .
