I got mine from Tyler @ ATS in Vegas but I don't believe he's selling them anymore.Since speaking with him though,I do know he has a c/f airdam in production that should be available soon.
I shot mine with a ton of clear after receiving it,if I would have gone through the trouble of wet-sanding it,it would have looked like glass I think...

I seem to recall seeing a few last time I was at ATS. Give Tyler a call, he might have still have one.

The amount of clear I applied buried almost all of that AJ so it looks almost 100% better then in that first picture now.Plus,it's like 2 inches off the ground so you gota be laying on your back to see any imperfections.

Thumbs up

We are working on a pattern for a wrap around air dam style front spoiler. I figured if you want to go to the extra expense of carbon fiber, you might as well have something that has a bit of a custom look while being more functional. We would have it out by now, but what I am finding is that every car we measure is a little different. We are trying to make a tight tolerance part for low tolerance designed cars. So, now I'm thinking about making it a 3 pc. affair so there is some adjustability in width while also allowing it to also fit 67-69 Camaros. The other thing this will facilitate is if you biff the spoiler on the ground, you can buy just the section you need without needing to buy a whole new part (read cheaper repair). If you go on the gallery page on our web site and look at the rendering for our "Double Black Diamond" Camaro concept, you can get an idea of what this part will look like. We will have an option to extend it deeper with a rubber piece or a bolt on splitter.
