How did you acquire this thing? That looks nothing like the lower bumper from a street MJ and everything like the air dam on the SCCA MJs.
Street Bumpers anyone??

I found it on ebay back in 2004 I guess it was. I will talk to a friend who does molds and stuff for living and see if he can help me... I know how to do it some what but trying to figure what I don't know would be a pain in the ass.

It's not that; it's just that I think it should be a little shorter to be practical on the street.
Practical on the street is not what it was designed for. Some coil spacers will give you a little clearance
Edit: Or you could trim it. Its only fiberglass.

That looks sweet! I see why you want to hold onto it.
Maybe our resident flare vendor would be interested in using this as a template for a production run? http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1034086

Who here still uses their XJs/MJs for SCCA racing? Show of hands? Right...Practical on the street is not what it was designed for. Some coil spacers will give you a little clearance

Yan is commenting that to be desireable for the majority of owners, it might need to be a little shorter in order to be practical on the street and not get destroyed like most Hondas with body kits.

I really don't think it'll be that low. Remember, those SCCA Comanches were lowered. With stock suspension and tire size you'd have much more clearance than you see on those bad boys but I do see your point. For me I'd like the see where I was with that size and trim if I needed it.

Yeah, my Nissan pickup is lowered 3" and scrapes all the time...That bumper on my Nissan would touch at static height. Probably would indeed be better on an MJ/XJ...

I will measure the thing this weekend and I will also contact the company u mentioned to see if the want to look in to it... their flairs look nice and durable so I'm sure the product would be great if they did it.

"There were 5 companies that I know of that made an aero packages for the XJ/MJ: Archer brothers, RSW in Germany (nicest one), Aeromotive, Erebuni in NY, and one other in NY, name escapes me right now. I happen to have one by Aeromotive, I used to be a dealer for them."

I forgot about Erebuni, they used to sell the whole street comanche kit. It's entirely possible that is where the dealer sourced it from.

Oh wow. These guys are literally 5 miles from my office. The streetview on google maps makes it look like their shop might be for sale/lease though
Anyone call the number on their site yet? I can drop by and have a look-see sometime in the next few weeks if someone verifies that they are still in business, I end up going to the home depot over there all the time for materials.I wonder why the name of Rich's own company escapes him at the moment?
Erebuni was bought out by http://www.andysautosport.com/. I emailed them and they said "we dont have any of the Erebuni molds".

I had a similar airdam on my 4.3 V-6 powered Mazda with a 3" drop and it occasionally rubbed on driveway approaches if I wasn't paying attention, but I learned to drive without it rubbing.
