need held fast!!

Well, im finally letting the 89 rs go :-(. I have college coming up and what not but i have the op. to get a 89 iroc z so im gonan take it (better gas and such). Well ehres the prob. The guy coiming to buy my car lives about 1 hour away. I recently had my air dam ripped off do to a driveway and now it will run hot. even though i have the 160 thermo and a fan switch it still runs about 220 in a 20 minute drive and continuely goes up. My ? is, has anyone made a homemade AIR DAM for there car. I was htinking about gong to ace hardware and buying some sheet metal cutting it a decent size and drilling holes and mounting it. WOuld this work both the mounting and functional? I dont have time to order one and not one of the 3 junkyards has one! Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Take the airdam off the IROC and put it on the RS. Don't gyp him with some ratty ghetto-rig. Order a replacement for the IROC.

You can't find an airdam at any junkyards? In my area the junk yards SUCK, but I could still get airdams by the dozens. I have a spare off my 84 parts car you could have for cheap but it seems like you need the part right now and not next week.
