    How in the hell would you mount a Rieger Infinity to the bottom of an iS airdam?

    I don't have the iS airdam anymore, I have the late model front valence now.

          The plastic is just flat sheets of ABS plastic, probably 3/8" thick. He heats it to bend to the contours of the iS lips. A flat panel like for the eS spoiler would be extremely simple, just trace the shape of the spoiler to the plastic and cut it out.

            anybody know how low an early iS/eS front spoiler is compared to a late model valence with a late model iS lip?

              They're about the same, the late model valence with iS lip is a bit lower.

                For a splitter though, I would trace it and then move it up and trace it again so it is hanging out alittle more than the front of the valance right?

                  usually you have to buy a huge sheet. it could get expensive if you only wanted one strip.

                    We would do 2 strips and maybe more for IS/ES valances if we have more. Where can I get some ABS plastic? Home Depot or a store like that?

                        Try Mcmaster Carr for the plastic sheets. They have a lot of materials like this.

                              is this the plastic that you guys are using for spliters?
