How does it mount to the car? Got any more detailed pics?

LMK if you're interested in parting company with your Kamei 8-)

I swear they had one, http://www.vforceperformance.com, but it's not working now. The info says email martin@vforceperformance.com.
I haven't been in touch with Martin for a few years, but I'll reach out to him and see how things are going.

The spoiler mounts to the inside on the lower edge of the 68+ bumper with a few bolts. Some people have fabricated braces to reach under the fender and attach to the bumper bracket, but I haven't found that necessary. For most, just the top bolts are fine and it allows some flexing if it bottoms out (super easy to do on a lowered car!) I'll upload some pics of all that soon. I'm not sure if they will fit on the early bumpers, but I have seen them mounted on an early squareback with no trouble, so...

The original Kamei mounts the same way.

Great pics, cool backgrounds! Where did your front air dam come from, is is OG or a repop? I saw recently that Flat-4 was making them.

I haven't seen any from Flat-4, but this is a fiberglass version from VForce Performance out of Australia. They make a direct copy of the Kamei spoiler as well as this one that I have which has a raised center section. I also happen to have an original Kamei in ABS that I've kept stored away.

Oh, okay, thanks for the explanation. I don't run bumpers, wouldn't work for me. I may make something custom one of these days. It's one of the 1000's of projects rattling around in my head lol

I just learned that he sold the company last year anyways. I’ve seen some that mount along the edge of the apron/fender just like a duckbill or a ducktail on a trunk lid in reverse.
