My $10 Air Dam

Check it out! I figure this is good for at least 50 hp and should get me over 200 mph and if I add a couple of stickers to it they should be worth 5 hp each!

dude....put it all the way at the leading edge of the bumper...or something...whats the point of having it there except to eliminate any amount of aerodynamic benefits that the designed plastic aero undertray from mitsubishi could give you? bump for a good idea though

That's a good question, I will try it out tomorrow and let you know. But the cool thing about the vinyl is that it is flexible enough to give and then bounce back, so even if it scraped along the ramp, it really wouldn't hurt it.

One queston: why?!?!? If your going to do something like that, why not get something that's made by somone and proven to work? This kinda reminds me of the little plastic peice under a corvette, and those can't go over "rhino ramps" .
