has anyone ever customized their air dam?
I once saw a whilte LS1 Z28 with a gloss black air dam with white CAMARO lettering on it. Does anyone have any pics or step by step ways to do this?

step one: remove air dam
step two: paint air damn gloss black
step three: Apply stickers
step four: reattach air damn
This was a bit more common sense than it was a technical questoin

I had a "BRIDGESTONE" sticker on my air dam for a short while (you can see it on the 'new rims' pics on my site)... Didn't really like the look on my car. I had seen a similar (though different tire co.) sticker on a white SS, and I thought it looked pretty cool - maybe it just looks right on white cars?
Anyway, here's where I got the sticker:

That way, your decals are protected and so is the paint from all the crap that the air dam is exposed to.[*]Reattach air dam[/list=1]No, I've never done this before, but that is how I imagine it would be done.

Straying from the topic slightly...
Believe it or not, the air dam is an excellent spot for those darn front plates that some of us are required to have.
Mine was mounted dead center on the dam. It was not really noticeable to folks scoping out the car or at shows... but oncoming LEOs could see/read it plain as day on the road.
Thank God I am moving to FL and no longer need that stupid front plate!
