ok so i bought a random wackload of fiberglass and stuff last year to do some kickpods. then i was thinking to myself on other things i want to glass and now i have a predicament. my two choices are build the kickpods and wait for a while then glass an air dam or do my custom air dam and mount my components in the door. o ya my air dam idea consists of.... taking the existing smashed to fuck one wrapping it in fleece and glassing it like that. there may be a hole left about the size of two of those rectangles for air flow. and then smoothed bondoed a bit and painted nice and black any comments?
nah dont fiberglass your dam ..cause if something smacks it...bam your dam is toast. kickpods FTW!! well thats my opinion anyway. 8)
If you make a fiberglass air dam, renforce it with a wire mesh. My aeroform kit is fiberglass. I glassed in some wire mesh, so in the chance i peg something with it hopefully it will just crack and not shatter.
Actually the aroform kit takes a pretty good beating. Just ask Mafix. The front piece on his along the bottom has been re-fiberglassed in multiple times. So many infact that I am tired of fixing it. The rear also seems to handle it pretty good. Willie got nailed one night afterwork. Took a little bit of time to fix, but only broke the bondo/fiberglass where we had molded it along the rear tail lights.
yeah the aeroform kit also acts great as a: mud plow snow plow driveway leveler anti tow truck device
the air dam being that front plastic lip? Oh geez my has been pummeled, and a good reason why I put off lowering my car, as it not-quite clears parking bricks as is...same with the muffler...
pfft im dropped pretty nicely u just have to be careful....which i wasnt and now my airdam is straight gone
heh yeah...I kept on forgetting how small my car is...so when I'd get out thered be like a foot of extra space behind me...
