I'll post more details & pics when I update my air dam thread.

UPDATED: See post #89 in my original air dam thread for details.

Metro, is that your first air dam on Blackfly?
Nope! First was a cardboard prototype made years ago that was only on the car for a short while. Check earlier in this thread - I posted a pic & link.

If your question is meant to imply I don't get things done in a timely matter... I'll answer that later!
