My little lady is getting Modified. All pic's that Alvin posted. The BRE looks the best in my eyes.

Thanks so much for all the input. Hmmm time to think a little.

Yes, without realizing it, the car known as "Victor's" that I pointed to is the same one that I bid on as part of a fundraiser on this site.

I find the air dam on that vehicle (and I think it too is a BRE type) is styled and small enough to not spoil the look of the front end.

Victor's car made its way to Australia when the raffle was decided.

hmmm

If you put one on, you would also like the way it changes the handling.

I have see bathroom "flexible" rubber molding used to make a 3-4" flexible dam.....looded ok and you don't have to worry about the driveway.

sorry, no pictures....that's Alvin's job.......LOL

All the pic's are great. Thanks. The BRE spoiler looks the right size(not to big and does not over power the front). So far from all the pic's the spoiler does not match up very well. Hmmmm

Reviving this post bc there has been an increase in ones who are interested in front air dams.

Alvin did a great job at gathering many different styles and angles.

Thanks Alvin!

I feel there's a slightly different look between a low and high windshield car with a front spoiler. My high window "balanced" with BRE air dam.

Quick question...

Who is selling air dams these days? Can't seem to find any on vendor's sites... then again, I might not be looking with my eyes open.

Thanks,

If my car ever gets painted, I believe I will have a great looking front spoiler. This photo was taken before I fixed the upside down rear springs.
