Seen this kit on some Velocity show w/ a segment from SEMA, evidently fairly new. Not typical GRM but it may appeal to some.

There is also the ezlip. I haven't tried, but am curious. It would be WAY more affordable than the factory piece for my 9-3...

Haha yep, maybe now that it's bloody expensive the local ricemarts will stock it and I can finally get some!

I want a 4 inch air dam. No one makes one. Not even the Chinese kids on eBay.

"garage door" type skirts on the front of the car are pretty much useless aerodynamically (except for blocking the gap between a bumper and splitter), they'll fold in at much above highway speeds, and the longer the skirt the easier it will fold in. So for a 4" air dam you should custom-build it from aluminum and/or fiberglass.

In reply to GameboyRMH:

Garden edging works better, much stiffer. Still not great of course, but for $10..

The aforementioned garden edging is what you want.

I've heard that industrial conveyer belt material works quite well.

Basically it's a steel belted tire without the tread.

A buddy of mine uses it on the front of his 924S race car and it holds up at 120+mph.

I looked around a lot for something to use for 4" + and couldn't find much. I need something that's stiff enough to be functional at speeds 150+ MPH. Currently working with plastic sheet to make an air dam extension that can be painted body color. The version of my extension in the pic below is 4".
