With the Kamei spoiler mounted, you will be amazed at how much more stable the car will feel at speed on the open highway. You will no longer be blown about by crosswinds and big trucks. The faster you go the more stable it feels. Now 100+mph is comfortable with no front end floating into the air, it feels more like you are on rails.
You can crack a Kamei abs spoiler if it is over flexed (if you catch a parking curb or tall speed bump or big dip or steep driveway) for normal road scrapes you will not even notice except for a little fuzz of scraped off abs. For the most part it is very durable.
I enter driveways at an angle if at all possible to help reduce the chance of scraping it. I did something stupid (ran over a tool bag and then had to back off of it) and cracked mine a little up by the bumper mount on one side. Thanks for the repair info samcat. I have another new one in a box for racing but this one is still working just fine for the street.
The instructions say to mount it to the bumper and also bolt it to the front fenders/wings to provide the proper support. One of the
SuperBeetlesOnly.com members fabbed up some struts that bolted to the bumper brackets at the body to avoid driling the fenders.
The SuperBeetle Kamei is 7-1/2" (19cm) tall at the center (tallest point).
You will need to be carefull for your first few drives after it is installed until you get used to the fact of reduced ground clearance. It does not take that long to retrain your brain and it may save your spoiler from potential damage.
If you go fast, you need a Kamei!
