im thinking this item will fit well, but does anyone have experience with the Height of the airdam and possible 'grounding out'?

my car is lowered 1.5", 240z. and im concerned this item might hang down too low.

FWIW, I have the fiberglass version of that "spook". My car is lower than stock (see my sig). The "spook" is only about 3-4 inches above the pavement. Yes, you will scrape it on speed bumps, and dips, but the real killers are the concrete stoppers in parking spaces. Right after I installed my "spook" I ran over one right in front of a bunch of other Z guys...very noisy, and embarrassing, but no real damage. You just have to become aware that you have this thing hanging down and adjust your driving accordingly. They do make a difference at speeds of 80 mph and above...you can feel the steering get a bit heavier instead of becoming lighter at speed. Also if you ever need a roll-back tow truck it makes for interesting discussions with the tow truck operator (ask me how I know). They do look very retro-cool though. As far as installation goes on my '73 there were three tapped holes in the radiator support that I used to bolt it on plus drilling two more in the turn signal valences...measure three times before drilling holes in your "spook" and your valences.

Cheers, Mike
