Nice work, wonder how much Ram-Air effect you'll get?

ontopofm · 03-12-2008, 10:50 AM

i need more air so this will help, total cost including the screws is $1, just have 1 on my car right now, will put another one on later

b335i · 03-12-2008, 10:54 AM

Good idea! I would hack those bolts a little shorter though!

ontopofm · 03-12-2008, 10:57 AM

shorter bolts will look better, i can swap later on and paint everything black so people wont notice

E82tt6 · 03-12-2008, 10:58 AM

Looks good! I've done this kind of thing with a few cars.

I might cut those bolts a bit shorter, but it looks good!

Sweeeet

Haretakis · 03-12-2008, 11:10 AM

Wow, you worked that out really fast. How long did it take you because at 6:00 last night it was still an idea. Let me know how it works for you and if you wanna make some extra in black.

ontopofm · 03-12-2008, 11:16 AM

it was like 10-15 minutes each, measuring, cutting, and bending, i can post up a diy but i think with the dimensions in pic #5 you can easily made this, if im free on weekends i might be able to help you out

Amir87 · 03-12-2008, 12:31 PM

This is awesome!

Can you make a DIY step by step?

not just for looks but the longer bolt could causes turbulance in the airstream which might not be ideal so do cut the bolt.

ontopofm · 03-12-2008, 12:38 PM

i'm going to home depot later to grab another piece and will have diy probably by tomorrow

radgator1 · 03-12-2008, 12:43 PM

I am no expert by any mean, just my brain cell talking. You should talk to an aerodynamic expert if you think my point is valid

for verification. But yeah, it would looks much cleaner with shorter bolt as you said. Carry on forward

did you have to drill into your car to install them?

BoostedBMW · 03-12-2008, 12:55 PM

Cool idea... this is a nice alternative to the scoops that were being offered for $300.

I look forward to seeing the DIY.

e90AW335i · 03-12-2008, 01:02 PM

Nice....

e90AW335i · 03-12-2008, 01:07 PM

How long until the DIY?

i drilled 4 holes on each side on this rubber my fingers are pointing at, you need to un-screw 4 hex screws that are holding the bumper and pull that rubber out, 2 holes on the outside can be drilled from the under with the kidney grill removed, but 2 holes on the inside need to be drilled from the top, need to push that rubber down a little and that corner will pop out, sorry for the pic quality
