Racoon meets Kamei Air dam
Stupid big *** racoon came out of the ditch late last night right in front of me. There was oncoming traffic so couldn't do a thing , even if I had time .
CRUNCH ........ split and tucked the air dam I put on last year up under the rad . Had to pull it out and it broke off in two pieces .
I had just taken some pics about two hours before on a drive up to an old friends .

On the next one you should buy this stuff called big gap filler, by "great stuff". can be found at ace hardware. Its a spray in foam insulation, and is good for filling in you bumper/ground effects. it can be shaped to size and fiber glassed over if you want to go that far. Its fairly rigid foam and should help strengthen it a bit.
I used this stuff on my GF's eclipse because the stock bumper was about 3 1/2 inches off the ground and I hid a raccoon going about 75 busted the radiator, but no body damage. that could be made to look good again. IMHO FRP is crap. I had an FRP body kit and it always cracked. little rocks busted up my hood, bumper, and side skirts all the time. I just flat blacked it because it was always getting chipped. It was an acculade kit from japan.
BTW don't let the foam get on your hands. you'll be trying to get it off all day. I finally found a pummis foot scrub did the trick.
