Mine is holding up great so far. At least 15K miles and now I am up north and have hit piles of snow with the front and it is still on strong

do you have a pic of it on the r56?

Did mine 2 days ago. I decided to cut the ends flush with the stock break in the bumper.

Agarwaen, looks good..


I'm getting ready to do it now, I'll post some pics

I did mine almost more than 1 years ago, and it still holding up great. Oh, I did the sides too.

First picture was when i used big washers, notice the bulges coming out, so went back and used smaller diameter washers, looks great now.
I did this about 2 weeks ago, sorry about the dirty filthy car. I SWEAR ITS NEVER LIKE THIS!!! So because of the dirty car and just putting black wow on the splitter quick, it looks kinda bad. oh well!

If anyone wants to see the highlights of this thread just check out this ebay ad...http://compare.ebay.com/like/2206249...=263602_309572

^ someone should be able to get that ebay seller in trouble... hes using other peoples cars for examples. I know if i was that Massachusetts car guy i wouldnt want my license plate on..ebay..

Hah, he used my car. Sweet.

Yeah, you dont have to go through all 6 pages of this thread, just check out his ad and you get all of the pictures!

i dont understand why people blur out license plates on the internet, mine are available to the public all day every day.

maybe i just do not know what harm someone could do with my license plate.

But seriously, i do it for reasons like if i were to sell my car, or if i was trying to get warranty for something, a picture of ur license plate says "IT IS MY CAR". Which sometimes u might not want. Also personal safety. I am in law enforcement and there are a lot of wacko's out there. I have a lot of enemies because of my job... I dont want to give another easy way to know what i drive or more.

I guess its the same thing as why we use screen names on websites

Wow, totally hilarious!!!

I loved that link!

I will sure use it A LOT since I know lots of people that ask something and I always end up directing them to Google!

Thanks for the link buddy!

Wow! I hit something on the first day I brought my MCS home (in the dark) and had someone tell me, "you have something hanging down in front"...

I used wingnuts to reattach the dam under the aerokit spoiler/bumper. This looks like a pliable (important) fix that will really make the front end aero kit more functional again. Thanks for the tip! Never would have thought of the garage door stuff.

Looks like one of those fancy Ferrari splitters that increase downforce as you go faster. Cool.

Since I have installed this mod, I have hit (boo) two dead animals large enough to hit this "Splitter" and the stock airdam. Aside from a bit of hair this thing is no worse for it.

I hate when that happens....

Out here in Azirona, we get a lot of "alligators" in the road. The very first time I took Nudnik down I-10 to Tucson (instead of the back road), I got off the on-ramp at Eloy and within 2 miles, a truck in front of me kicked up an "alligator", which put a slight crease in my air dam....

Gotta get to Lowe's and snag some of that stuff to put one on my car....

Did the air dam modification with a piece of 1/8" x 1" aluminum bar stock and the aforementioned Home Depot garage door seal. This was too easy to do and now that I've had it on for a month, I kick myself for waiting so long. It probably extends another inch further down than the aero kit air dam did. I think it deflects more air and even at "ahem" higher speeds there is no squirrely feeling at all - car feels planted.

I'm in Colorado so I'm a little concerned about what this will do in snow but I have enough left over material to do this again at least three times!

Do it!

Had to have a go at this... Worked out good!

I popped open this thread thinking I was gong to see some ghetto azz crap. The laughs on me now. This ain't half bad.

I was thinking this can't look good - until I tried it. The garage seal is just pliant enough to flex when it needs to but stiff enough to work effectively as an air dam. For a DIY project, I'd score it a 10.

Absolutely!

Sorry to bring this back up, but

have some of you just used the 3m tape to hold it up... or even the 3m weatherstrip adhesive

I just tried this but the 3m tape I used wouldn't hold onto anything. Need to find something different

**edit**

got some le page brand double sided tape. Still wouldn't hold for one second. I'll give it another go some other day.

I did my mod after the front lip had been damaged, cracking in the middle part of the lower bumper. To fix, I bought a piece of steel and screwed through the bumper providing an firm edge across the entire front air dam area. I used both the double sided tape and pop rivets. After a year, there were areas between the pop rivets that the dam began to sag. Finally, I went through Terrible's carwash in Las Vegas at the AMVIV9 rally and removed the entire installation. I'm shopping for a new aero kit front bumper. Trust me, the garage door modification looks great and is $400 cheaper!
