got any pics? how does it work on the car being steel? the factory air dam is made of plastic so when u scrape it, it flexes. Im just curious how a metal one works out.

what about when you park in a parking space and the nose goes over the edge but the airdam gets tapped? can it stop the car?


i would think that a setup with springs to hold it still would be better.

I scrape mine quite often...the first bump I hit with a metal one would bend it back. Bent back it won't function. Spring loaded it will have to be tight enough to stay straight at interstate speeds--tight enough a scrape would still hurt it. But hey, that's around here where the roads are poor. 2 lane no shoulders.
