anyone have any pix of the kamie front air dam, or any other front air dam on a bug?
 

I'm trying to decide what to do with the front of my car, but I can only really think of 2 options, and thats a bumper cover or replacement (like j-sports) or a kamie front air dam. Please post some pix here so I can start a little pic archive and help me decide which one looks better for my future german looker!


thanx

Go to www.shoptalkforums.com in the Euro look forum there is a Air dam shown

samcat- where did you get your airdam?

Originally I was running a Kamei airdam, bought from Kamei in the UK (they have dealers worldwide, I believe that Aircooled.net is a dealer!)
New Carbon Fibre one was from LA Performance in the uk (www.germanlook.co.uk)

Hi all- long time lurker, first time registered and posted.

I picked up a front and rear bumper cover from memoimports. It appears to be of good quality and was reasonably priced.

They are going on my car:

edit... old pic of my car... its a bit further along now.

That's a nice looking bumper cover, but I did not see it listed at their Web site -- only the picture of it when advertising lights.

And it still curves to under the car, allowing all that air to get pushed under the car...

The kamei airdam has a curve to it, and pushes the air out sideways. Makes quite a difference to how the car feels at higher speeds.

After seeing it online I wrote and asked about it. They replied promptly. I don't remember the cost-- it took a while to get it, but the quality seems quite good. I should have it painted in the next couple of months and be ready to install.

Am I missing something when looking at the pics? Why couldn't a Kamei-style spoiler be used with that style of bumper cover? Where does a Kamei-style spoiler mount?

To the bottom inside lip of the europa bumper (as on my car)

Oh, so you need the euro bumper for it to work?

is it possible for that air dam to work without the bumper? i want the T-bar look on the front instead of a bumper but i like the air dam! does it only come in a carbon fibre look? thanks! :D

NEED the bumpers... The airdam is C shape, and mounts to the bottom lip at the front of the bumpers.

You COULD make it work with cutting/fibreglass.... But thats true for anything :)

The carbon one I have isnt from kamei, its made by LA Performance in the UK... Kamei ones are made from abs plastic (I think) which makes them very tolerant to impacts.
