is this the same? I bought one for my 280 from Jegs. It is made by Xenon.

That’s the design I’m looking for. Do you have one Cliff or is this a reference?

Reference I guess. I do not have one on my 240 but the 280 does. It was cheapest at Jegs when I bought that one, free shipping also if I remember correctly. I like the one I have. It had flex and made noise at high speed but I figured out how to reinforce the backside with the OE lip and it worked out great. 280 now, no history with a 240 air dam.

Thanks Cliff

For some additional input about air dams...  @Av8ferg

Yarb, It appears the one you want is going to be a hard find.  I used my skills to try and locate you one but no luck, in fiberglass.    Here’s what I found on the inter-webs. 

Here is the Xenon 3124 which is the style you want but not made of fiberglass.

Here is are fiberglass ones without ducts you want.

Here is a ducted 240z style air dam with round ducts.

Finally, here is a guy with a 240z and an extra MSA Type 1 Air dam for sale in Olympia Wa.   Doesn’t say if it’s fiberglass or Urethane, you’re gonna have to call him.  
 

My recommendation is buy the Urethane, it ban be reinforced with aluminum strips and then braced to the existing mount center mount point on the car.  I already mocked up this bracket but then I decide to go a different direction and on my front.   You can see a slight wave in my urethane xenon and that bothered me.   I think I got a bad one, seems hit or miss but your don’t have a lot of options.  I’m happy with the new look but everyone has different tastes.  I like vanilla ice cream my wife hates it.   I still thinks she’s great.  Good luck Goose.  
 

Here are some pics of my MSA air dam vs the stock front valance with a carbon fiber lower lip.  Both look good to me but I prefer the stock front valance. I was able to fill in the lower grill area by using an extra lower stock grill and attaching it to the original one.
