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?

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

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.
