I have a 78 el camino that i just bought a Fiberglass Air dam for the front and i am having a problem with the sides wher it conects to the fender well. It bows out close to the bumber. But someone told me tht on the poly air dams that there is a tab that conects to the bumper filler. But the fiberglass one does not have this. Any sugjestions?

In my opinion the fiberglass ones suck. They are too rigid and have no "give" to them. You should have bought the urethane one for a few bucks more.

Can you sent it back? Seriously the urethane ones like factory are much, much better. I have hit stuff that would tear fiberglass to peices & it will be much friendlier to install.

Well it came from honest charleys and i will give them a call and see what i can do. Maybe they will take it back and not charge me shipping since i am not satisfied. I will pay the $20 bucks more for a easier and nicer dam. Thanks!

Well it came from honest charleys I hope you used your 10% discount!

Yep i did use my discount. Got a Steel cowl hood as well. Real satisfied with it! But hope to get some satisfaction on the air dam.......

I agree with Ernie the fiberglass one i bought is crap also. It does not have the mounting tabs like the urethane ones.. I will get a urethane one and swap it out. Chalk it up experience..

anybody want to buy this fiberglass piece of crap from me?? it is REAL NICE!

:lol: Put it on ebay. Someone will buy it. :lol:

I first saw the fiberglass ones at Carlisle a couple of years ago. Honest Charlies was there and they had them for sale for $115. They didn't bring any of the urethane ones but they were pushing the fiberglass ones. As soon as I saw it I knew people would have problems with it.

You get what you pay for.

Honest charley is goijng to take mine back. It is going to cost me a bit more but i learned to check things out more.

:lol: Put it on ebay. Someone will buy it. :lol:

Well i do not want someone else to be unhappy with it. Just me but i am not going to sell something to another Elky owner that is crap.. Unless they know it and want to pay more for it!

Well the Fiberglass air dam is on its way back to honest charley's and a poly one is on its way........ It was nice of them to let me send it back.

Glad to hear it. Let us know how the urethane one fits.

I have always had good experiences buying from HC. Good service always results in repeat sales.

Hey the new Air dam came today! Fits GREAT! Took about 30 minutes to install!

Now you need to take it back off & paint it. Glad they fit well.

Glad to hear it. Another satisfied HC customer.

Could you get a Air Dam on a Conquista?
If you could,How does it fit on the fender moulding?
I have seen a couple of Conquistas where they cut the top
off the dam to fit under the moulding.I believe mine had one on at one time because there were three plastic ears where it attaches to the rad support .It looks like it was broken off.I also have seen them over lap the chrome moulding.The only ones I have seen that looks right is the ones without the trim.

No, it only was available with the SS (Z15) option.

This has been discussed before. The search (http://elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=search) engine is your friend.

Thanks Ernie for the info.
I checked the earlier info before I posted and viewed the pictures on the the way it mounted,but wasn't clear on the Conquista mounting.There is a small black air dam that fits under the rad support on most Conquistas,I guess this will have to do.
