    I made one like this out of acrylic, but the diamond plate would be better.
    Acrylic can burn. $150 not a problem??
    That should be doable, but I still need the 5 pre-orders. I'll PM you after a while regarding the one-off. I'd have to get a non-bulk price for material, but I think I can do it for $150. Might not be able to include shipping, but I'll let ya know.

    Lower Air Dam

    I will try a set. I would like them the same width as the factory pieces.

    I'll be the mechanically challenged dummy and ask a couple questions.

    Does the new dam change the aerodynamics of the car and make the mileage better/worse? That ethanol crap they make us use now has already cost me 3 or 4 miles per gallon.

    Is there a single piece that replaces the factory air dam or two pieces? If you don't like bright shiny aluminum, can you spray paint the thing black?

    Are there any other questions that I ought to be asking but don't know enough to ask? The price looks okay. I just don't understand why or how it's going to make my car better. Things like floppy rear bumpers, ProGuards, Cold Air Induction I understand. This concept I don't.

    Ford made the OEM "Dam" out of plastic for a reason....."Self Destruct" with minimal damage if you plow something up on the highway or hit a bump stop in a parking lot!!

    The diamond plate looks GREAT but be warned it will screw a bunch of stuff up if ya do any "Plowing" or "Bumping"!!

    BTW....I removed mine two and a half years ago and have had no problems with heat at all!! ALL ProCharger cars have them removed as well.

    Not "Knocking" your GREAT looking product just looking at the down side!!

    No changes in aero since it's basically the same as stock.

    It's a single piece.

    Sure you can spray it any color you want.

    Read above. My plastic one was trashed and well, ugly. So I made one out of scrap DP aluminum. It was pretty and I think the stiffness made it function better for it's purpose.

    After the questions in this thread, I've been purposefully careless with mine. It's still on and still straight.

    Ya'll remember. This is 'bling' with slight function. Like any additional bling it requires additional 'give a *****' to take care of.

    My OEM air dam is pretty messed up. The stock bolts rusted to the point they don't come out w/o wasting 25 minutes of my time, so I replaced the bolts with christmas tree plugs.

    We know. the piece you refer to is the chin spoiler. The peice replaced in this thread is the air dam which is plastic and hangs from the cross-member.

    Wes at innovative sells for $100 (I think).

    Your dimond plate air jam looks sharp but it will not work on my ride. I just did a recent mod of the Naake Q1s. I lowered the front to 26.5" measure ment from ground to center of wheel well. I tour out the oem air jam after a week of constant hits. I have had no problems with the engine getting hot.

    I have 1 full coil cut and don't hit. The Al one is lower profile than the plastic. Not having one will not make the engine over heat or anything, it just keeps it a bit cooler on the highway due to increased and directed air flow... and looks good.

    I Gotta say I love mine. The other day, I was dropping my sister off and saw a little pigeon type bird walking across the road. I figured for sure he would fly away in time, but alas he did not. I heard the DP air dam go to town on him. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a cloud of feathers shoot up in the air. I don't think the plastic stock one would have done such a good job. I did feel kinda bad afterwards though.
