Here is my 2nd attempt at and air dam/valance.. This is a completely different style, and I used the body lines of the car against itself, so it has to match up better.. I am not sure what to do out the out solid edges of the air dam, I may just leave it alone, but I think it needs some kind of hole there...

What do you guys think..? Is this the one? The over all hieght of can be adjusted a bit, but what about everything else.?

I am trying something with a bumper I had laying around the shop.. See if you guys can figure out what it is off of, it shouldnt be hard to guess.. I have been trying to work with some mods to the original Volvo Bull Horn bumpers, but it just doesnt seem like I can get where the rendition is.. They are not made in a fashion that they can be tweeked like they were in photoshop.. Damn, I wish it was that easy...

I had this bumper laying around and I have been staring at it for awhile.. I seems like it almost there, and maybe with a bit of tweeking, it could be there.. My idea is this, If I can get the contour of the bumper correct, because the size is perfect to match the rear bumpers, I can make the lower bumper guards part of the Air dam.. By bringing the air dam down just a bit, it would interrupt that opening in a Classy way, and would tie in the whole air dam to the front end... Now to see if I can make it look right proportionally..

Here is where I am at so far.. I think I may quit for the night and think about where to go from here. I think it is very close to working.. I need to take some more from the main body of the bumper to the bumper end will come in tighter, but that is easy (I have take 4 inches out already). I still need to trim the cut end, near the bumper guard, in a fashion I can hammer out a nice closing cap.. Other than that, if the proportions work out, it just may be the way to go.
