Finally installed my M1 Prowler and Big Mouth Air Dam - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Well, this Beast is getting closer and closer to coming out after 3 long years. This front spoiler came out better than expected, but not with a few challenges for fitment; quite a bit of cursing at times I must add.

Woah,

I have a "big mouth", love it and doesn't look half as good as yours. Wait, not even a little bit!!! Yours is incredible!

Ok fess up, how did you do that? That bottom spoiler is way too cool

I like my BAD too!! Did you install the stainless debris screen while you were in the cursing process?

Thanks for the comments and it really turned out nicer that I had expected; maybe it is just the photo. The shop that painted it called me to tell me that he was not satisfied with the quality of the spoiler and I don't think the manufacturer really intended on color match since it will take a beating. He said if it was okay to do some work to it and I figured might as well do it right so I'm really pleased how it turned out.

As for the stainless screen, I was not happy with the fitment so I left it off and will do a custom one that will serve a purpose. The one that came from the company that sold the BMAD did not mount right to me and left gaps that did not make sense.....at least the way that I was trying to install it and the mounting area provided.

Thanks again and I can't wait to get this Z on the road in the next few weeks.

Aloha!

Yes I did not understand why the stainless screen did not extend correctly to both sides of the air dam. (Shame as it was very well constructed) However, I beleive the intent was to keep the big debris out such as leaves and white plastic bags and such and I can clearly state in that reguards it works as advertised. I too was unhappy with the mount and just moved it to straddle the middle of the Dam. Actually it did not come out too bad. After recently doing my radiator I can easily say something to protect against what I found in my radiator shroud area is better than no solution. Enjoy. GC
