Hey guys, I just joined here but I have been looking around at these SE Chevelle's for awhile. I came across a pic I think you guys will like. Sorry there is only one, but that's all I have! Also I have no proof that this is a SE Chevelle front air dam, but from the looks of it I think it is. It also has the rear spoiler, but no stripes nor side louvers that I can see. Anyway here you go!

That is Doctor Larry's car. He adapted those spoilers from some Camaro ones. The front is a generic one that he fitted to the car. He has a lot of info on these cars if you need to find out something about your ride. Although he mainly posts on the CT forum, he is pretty easy to get ahold of via pm over there.

I have a front air dam on mine that I bought off Ebay. It is high quality and is made of thick metal. I can't remember what I paid for it, but I think it was around $125.00. Tomorrow I will take some pictures of it. It is not very big, actually it is pretty small, but it helps direct air straight into the radiator and aids cooling. JB

Ahhh okay! I should've noticed that the front does look sort of like a camaro air dam, as I own a '74 camaro! I saw that picture on chevytalk.org and the user name was DoctorLarry, so it all makes sense. Oh and thanks for the welcome and advice!

Was it something like this? I've heard they are pretty good quality, and fit many different cars. I realize this isn't the correct model, but you get the idea.
