i just found out that my air dams missing
the junkyard has some but they take forever to lift the cars up 2 get one. so can anyone give me the dementions to make one? i also need to know what angle it sits at. i figured out my overheating problem by the way. i deleted the ac and the condenser looked like some one took a hammer and flattened all the ribs. now she hardly touches 220. Alotta you guys should check out your condensers if you have overheating problems.

you could always spend 30 bux anbd get a new one.
As for making one, just slightly angled forward is fine, so long as its strong enough not to bend. 3 or 4 inches high would be enough.

I'd make one myself. The factory air dams don't work well enough as far as I'm concerned.

Re: i just found out that my air dams missing
the factory ones are perfectly adequate. Something else is causing your car to overheat, ie: component failure, installation error etc

Well, it's not exactly overheating, but I have a 180 thermostat in it, and it goes up to the first line w/o the fan. With the fan, it goes down a bit.
