In the front view you can see that the original Air dam under the nose still sticks down below our nose parts to knock air up into the radiator (or whatever it does).


I was the one asking about the chin spoiler and if your air damn was to be low enough to impede its job. By the pictures here, it doesn't. Thanks.
Regarding your comment that I hacked, I think that it does in fact boost air in. The previous cars I had I thought, "what's the harm in removing this stupid thing?". Much like what we see hanging down on this car now.
I removed it only to have the engine not run well and be, well, not happy.
I put it back on.
It wasn't there only to feel the front curbing as it turns out!

Thanks for the options Archie. The front chin and sides I could get used to, but not compelling enough to whip out the checkbook, sorry. Lay the back fascia up and do a quality job in Carbon Fiber and I can see myself buying one. The back pieces behind the wheels don't trip my trigger at all.

Now, make the kit like is on the Red Sol in this months HotRod and hit the street with that and you've got a winner. That front chin actually looks like it may be functional, and the NACA duct treatment just adds to it.

Wow... whole lot of nothin on that post. I thought more would be interested on the dual rear fascia.

On that note, I dropped it off at the body shop today. It will be painted and ready for installation on Thurs. I'm hoping to have it installed by Friday... but we'll see.

That comes with it in a box. It's a lamp actually. It came with a fishnet stocking... but I took that off before I lit it.

Thanks for the pictures Lance, it seems this one has the correct clips for the 2 sides of the fascia, however I was also interested in the tabs that are in the upper edge of the fascia, to see if they were made like the original OEM and not metal pieces that had to be bend to hold it in place.

I would be interested on the rear fascia without the side skirts like Lance.

Would that work?

Where to order?

Thanks.

Crap... didn't look there. The only metal on the thing was what you saw though (I believe). I don't have the fascia now as it is currently getting painted. I might have a better answer tomorrow, but no promises.

Archie/Norm, any word on this?

Does that dual rear fascia fit right onto the rear bumper, or do you have to take off the entire back piece of the car in order to put this on?

how much is just the dual rear fascia? If this is just an easy install, Im buying it

Hello , well it looks like we have some response now. The facia goes on as stock no need to remove the bumper or lights. Has two metal push on tabs as the stock facia has, on each side. Take out the two lower inner fender fasteners at the rear for access to the inside of the facia. remove the six lower push in fasteners and replace with the same stock fasteners when the new facia is in place. Helps to have the rear of the car jacked up on jack stands or on a hoist. The top has tabs that are similiar to stock and push into place. Hope this helps, thanks Norm for V8 Archie. 1-800-891-3608 $299.99 plus shipping.
