Evil had it on his car and was selling it cuz he mounted that Refrigerator to the front instead. Its a discontinued product from a defunct company called Aerospoiler. The only references to it I can find on the net are guys that had them on their Vspec Nissans and stuff.
I like it. Its a nice subtle piece. I may take the time to ask around and see what it would take to manufacture some copies..

Looks Nice! With paint it will look factory IMO.

I am extremely happy with the part Evil!!. It is gonna' need some heat-gun time to get the wrinkles out. I am ordering some BIG mounting plasticware as we speak. (Bigger than the ones you sent.) Right now I've got some beefy ones in there but they are used.

I'm gonna trim the sides to kinda "sweep up" towards the wheel well where you had to trim the unit. It would fit flush if it wasn't for your necessary mods. I will find a curve on the car and copy it so it flows. NO GHETTO BODYWORK.

Whoever quit making these was STUPID!! They would look cool on SRT-4's too.

Yea man, no offense but it looks wayyyy better on an acr bumper than the es bumper. I didnt even reconize it. I would pick one up if A) I could still buy them and B) my car wouldnt destroy it from being to low.

I scrape speedbumps now with Vitor's Air Dam and Evil's spoiler. My wife said she heard it scrape down the driveway this a.m. :lol: Thats why i'm buying BIG mounts that flex a bit. There is a "hump" in the road up in the hills that I drive every day that I MUST almost stop to go over cuz it launches the car. The landing is a crunching, scraping mess...

Lol, you should take a ride in my car when I go over a speed bump, it doesnt sound nice haha. Luckly, those pinch weld things running down the lengh of the car are really strong, and have kept the underbody of my car in shape.

Do you have any more pictures of your car man? Im not sure if Ive seen it.

My Cardomain link is in my sig I think. Its fairly updated. I've been avoiding pics as my dog chewed up my bumper on the driver's side and it looks like CHIT. Body work will come as soon as I have time to get and estimate and all that.

^^haha, busted. Yup. I'll post pics of when my dog thought my car was my homework. Stupid dog. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

01RTGurl = Sorry. I had no idea. Evil posted it and I responded in like 30 seconds. Benefits of moderating the thread I guess. There has got to be at least one or two more of these things on the planet somewhere. i would buy another in a heartbeat.

That does look really good grambo. I wouldn't have known it was Josh's old one either, cause of the way it was tilted on his ES front, and the way it's nice a flush with your ACR front. Looks hella tight. 8)

^^thats why I keep mentioning the heat gun. It came rolled up in a box about 18" x 30". I had to heat it up to get it on the car. Once the larger mounting hardware is installed, I'll go buy some beer, put on the Mechanix gloves, and sit in the driveway for a few hours with the heat-gun and have some fun... :D
It also needs to be reshaped on the sides cuz it was trimmed funny to fit an ES front. I will prolly try and match the curve of the rear of teh car so it flows. Anyway I do it. I just got some extra downforce which is what I had hoped for.
I drove home like snot last night and at 100+ the car doesn't feel(quite) as creepy. It is nothing like a splitter would have done, but some of the lift I was getting is gone. Nice change.
With some tires, the new suspension, an alignment, a bath, some wax, and some Meguir's products....the little ACR won't be too bad anymore.. (oh and some body work where the pooches got it...)

Grambo, send me one of those pics so I can add it to the 2GN shirt thread. :) They're not showing up because you've used all your Photobucket bandwidth.
