For RS only DO NOT ORDER FOR RTS
Just a heads-up for RTS owners. This mod is meant for the RS model only.
The RTS does NOT need it. :lecturef_smilie:
The RTS Spyder already has a plastic shroud to control the air flow through the radiator. I goofed up, and bought the air dam from Harvey, not realizing it.
I know a guy in town that has an RS, so I guess he'll get a freebee. :gaah:
Desert Test for "Missing Air Dam"
Ok, I guess it's time we see how well this will work in the REAL heat. I live in Phoenix and don't plan to wait until October to ryde my Spyder, so I just ordered the Dam thing! Oops!:shemademe_smilie: The temps here are already hitting triple digits, so I need whatever help I can get :chill:. I was going to order it a month or so ago, but I saw several comments from folks saying it didn't do anything for them, so I didn't bother. But most of you seem to feel it helps, so I'll give it a try. I just ordered it, so I should have it by the end of the week and I'll post an update when I have some results.

in my quest to cool input and output is there an RT version
or will the RS work as well? I am not mechanical but am looking for everything to make it cooler and my ride even better:chat:
Desert Test for "Missing Air Dam"
I received my "Missing Air Dam" and installed it yesterday. The temp in Phoenix was 105 degrees in the afternoon (my gauge actually read 111), so it gave me a great opportunity to test it out. Previously, I had been running at 5 bars when the temp got over 100, but yesterday it only reached 4 bars even at 105 degrees. The temp is supposed to be 110 by Thursday, so it'll be interesting to see if I can still stay at 4 bars! In any case, I certainly agree the Dam helps and I'm glad I bought it.
