Should I Do the IE Air Dam?

Nice packing job on the Kamei repro air dam from Pierre but was unable to convince my wife that it was 'just another poster' for the Shop.  Quick test fit looked good.  Will go with a gasket and nutserts so it can be removed when I am off-roading.  ?

So, I'm about to list the used IE air dam I purchased a few years back, and noticed a Zender imprint on the back.  Is the IE air dam just a Zender part?  Manufactured by Zender for IE?  Or does IE have nothing to do with this air dam?    Confoosed.

Drilled in some nutserts and mounted up the Kamei repro airdam this weekend.  Will remove and re-install it with the gasket at some point before driving season (about 2 weeks in duration) begins up here.   Will have the bumper openings filled and get it painted when I bring the car in for some touch-up work (and removal of some rust in the fuel tank area).  Looking for a reasonably priced quality local body shop to do that work...

Pierre is still producing the Kamei as of 2023. Just received one for the 76. Nicely done, fiberglass and strong.

The blue sled was a running/driving barn find. At some point in the past life it was hit front left, and a half front was 

welded in and not done well. Looked ok until you got into it. Profile of lower section is slightly off, so work will need to be done on the Kamei to fit correctly.

Did anyone else have trouble installing this? Mine has about 1 1/2 gap on the driver side. Passenger side fits good though

I know this is an old post but saw this and this is exactly my situation. I found it an interesting coincidence.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
