Acura Air Dam

I've driven by this car a million times, but just noticed the air dam on it the other day.



I like the idea of the lights built into the air dam, it looks like it's meant to be there, rather than just being there.

Any idea if I can find this for my Corolla?

Or, if not what materials and where to find them to make it?

Looks like a generic lower lip, probably a Spec-D or similar. I just checked and the Integra lip can be found for $35 or so; I'm not sure if you can find something similar for a Corolla, but it's worth a look. Try sites like Corsport or just google "Corolla lower lip."

Well I did some searching, including your suggestions, but couldn't really find a whole lot for my year Corolla. I did find a bumper lip for a 9th gen corolla, but don't know if it would fit my 8th gen. For $120, I'd rather just get some yard edging anyway. If I want to poke some holes for fog lights one day, I'll cross that bridge then.

Lawn edging should work fine, those LED lights are just the cheap ebay jobs it looks like. I'd say that air dam could be made for about $40.
