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...

oh ok...i get it now...

well Thanks everyone for the compliments...I really like how it turned out...

I have had several members on here ask me to make them one so I am making a few of them. While I am at it I can make a few more for $50 bare aluminum and $75 powder coated black

Pm me if anyone is interested as I don't want this to turn into a Classified add...
