Wings West Install

For the folks who purchased the wings west air dam:

How does the air dam install? Does it screw or paste on?

It comes with both tape and screws. They say you can just use the tape but i put two screws insides each wheel well to make sure it doesnt fall off. It was really stuck in place with just the tape though.

BTW,

What is the color of the WW Air Dam (unpainted)? If it's black, does it match the color of the '97 OEM side skirts and lip? Thanks.

Here my pix...
1. Got it painted. It's originally a bit lighter than the 97 side skirt. **I saw one dude with a black CL polished it really good to match the skirts. It looked pretty good.... He didn't have to paint it.
2. Had it installed. 2 screws on each end. Double-taped on the front. The bottom front screws was optional.
Hope things work out for ya....

There are some crappy pics of it in my sig.

D4 the black doesnt match the side skirts too well but wouldnt be horrible. Looks much better painted though. I also read that you shouldnt put it on unpainted because then there is a lot more prep work when you do go to paint it. It is pitted and stuff or something like that. I have some WW side skirts that i havent painted yet and they are the same color as the lip was so if you would like me to post some pics of the color of the side skirts post here or PM, prolly PM me
