Distorted.Clarity Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I got my extra air dam today and was looking for some people to draw a few designs so i can mold this stock one into a new design.. maybe post some pics of ones already created that you think would look good on the conquest and ill see what i can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_87tsi Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 back in the early 90s there was a company in europe (i believe) that made a custom air dam that looked outrageous. wish i could find it now, anyone have any info on them? if the mold still exsists it would be possible to do a GP. it looked similar to the custom 930 porshe front end. really nice and about 450 if i remember right.

Give me a good visual description and a week or two to get it drawn up. I'm working on what I plan on doing now for custom skirts on my 86.

Distorted.Clarity Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 well same amount of open spots, maby change those square ones into round ones so if someone wanted they could put round lights down there.. i want it to come down straight instead of slanting back, *maybe do both designs to see what looks better* bottom of the ground effect dishes out further then the air dam its self. extend the width and height of the slant to the hole for the IC to help drive more air into it .. id like to see the bumper molded into the air dam because thats what im trying to do.. take both and change the bumper to be a newer look and round into the air dam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starion88esir Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Alright, give me about a week to get on it. Between working on the 86 and work I'm not too sure how long it'll take me. I still have part of a Pigeon Forge design sitting in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_87tsi Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 the custom bumper i was referring to from europe came straight down from the leading edge of the bumper and had additional flares and vents around the sides leading the front wheels. jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_87tsi Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 I will search the web and see what i find, i am actually surprized no one on this site has seen the custom front end. i saw it at a tire mod shop in minneapolis when i had my first conquest flat body and again when i first got my 87. it was one of the custom part shops of which there are many today with wings and custom front ends for 'hondas' ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh '88 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 A while back, there was a white Quest on Ebay that had a custom front air dam. I've never seen another one like it. I think it looks better than OEM. I'll post the picture on Gary's 2.6 liter website, then I'll post it here. It will take a day or two.

Kreal Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 The owner claimed it is an older Subaru WRX spoiler, if I remember right. Someone also said it looked like a Miata spoiler. - Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlQuest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 looks weird to me.. anyone else like that? i agree. it's too round and doesn't really seem to fit with the style of the bumper or the style of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 The front license plate covers most of the intercooler, too, and it doesn't go with the lines of the car AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distorted.Clarity Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 yeah i seen him link to another forum for that flatty to a wide body post and then tried looking around for other info or post to read and found that site with them pics i realy like that r34 bumper on that wide body. im thinking something like that only just a few mods to it for the one im trying to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_87tsi Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 the body kit on the stazzaline is similar to the one i saw 7-8 yrs ago because i remember it replaced the bumper and dropped almost straight down from the leading edge. iwas wondering what other kits might fit ours , sheck out the kits available for the newer 300zx on stillen.com for one. i am looking for a hoop scoop that is a little more aggressive than the 83 hood and a classy way to put in header vents - there are some nice ones available for the zx. i also wonder if buddyclub2.com might make us a cf hood, and or header panel jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 there is a post in theis forum somewhere, i think chubaccatsi, his friend was making a custom bumper and there were some pics. i dont like that white one. you gotta keep it kinda boxy to match the lines dont they make body kits for 944's?

Distorted.Clarity Posted December 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 well it will still be boxy but thats how i want the front to be level with the bumper and maybe somewhat of the same openings in the front.. anyone else have pics of things they think might look good or ones that can be moded to be a bit boxy but still would look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_87tsi Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I agree, the front level with the front of the bumper and major air vents underneath jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distorted.Clarity Posted December 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 all the ground effects for the 944 that i have looked up were nothing special.. maybe i did not search deep enough. if you see something post a link and ill see if i can make it im not just going to do one design ima do a few just for kicks and something to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
