hey all,
i wanted to post a few pictures of my airdam install since ive gotten to where im sick of driving without a lip. ive decided to try to retrofit the early model lip that came off of the early airdam that has been removed and discarded. ive seen pictures in fb groups and on google that show the early lip on a late airdam, and i like how it gives the car the appearance of being lowered. but all the pictures i saw showed visible zip ties or other hideous forms of attachment to the vehicle.
my e30 is no show car, but to hell with exposed fasteners if i can do anything to prevent them.
ive removed the ten clips that an aftermarket or OE late lip would clip into, and plan on using the holes all those clips go into as supports for nuts and bolts.
here is the setup currently mocked up with zipties. it got too dark too quickly for me to do anymore work tonight, but im hoping to have everything done and completed by tomorrow afternoon without removing the airdam. if i do end up removing the airdam, i suppose i could paint it...
i made a point to take a picture of both corners so i know what kind of adjustments ill need to make. maybe ill have to end up pulling the airdam off to get everything to fit right.
any advice is always appreciated!
