Default my custom made air deflector

My air deflector was all nasty looking and had over spray on it from having the car painted and it had holes drilled in the sides for a old air intake system ...

So I decided to make a new one...It is short only a little longer than the radiator.

It is made out of 1/8 aluminum broke it to the right angle and powder coated black

I also made it 1" shorter than the stock one too so that it would not get scraped up and bent all to pieces....

I got the decal from a member on here (Searching4Sierra)
I lined the "T" up with the center bolt but with the "X" being so big it made it a little off to the right which i didn't think to account for..
I don't mind it though...

here are some pics let me know what you guys think..

Thanks guys....I had fun doing this and I really think it adds a nice touch..

I thinks the Decal sets it off nicely too...

Thanks Searching4Seirra for the decals I am sure I will be getting more soon...

I have a TON of aluminum...lol we could prob work something out....Pm me if you are really interested as I don't want this to turn into a sale add...But I wouldn't mind making a few and making some extra toy money for a tune while I am at it...

Thanks everyone

I have drove the car and went into one of the steepest driveways in town and it came out without a scratch so I think I can call it a success...I am hoping to get some really good pictures of it next time its at the track with the front end up...

Would you be interested in shipping these?

If not, could I get the template from you? =)

Looks great, I definitely want one.
