Default Air dam
Looking to purchase an air dam to force air between intercooler and radiator to help cooling. Can someone point me in the direction to where I might get one. Maybe send me info on how to make one.
Thanks in advance

Whose kit are you using? Do you still have the stock air dam?

The ECS instructions on their website show how to modify the stock one to work. What kind of kit do you have?

I just trimmed my stock one and put it between the IC and rad and saw a big reduction in temps. I have a front splitter though and an opening in the bumper to get air in.
