Default Made a custom Air Dam

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..

haha thanks J Dubb...I think if you round the corners it will look like a bubble under the car...But if you want yours rounded let me know and I will hook ya up!

Thanks man! The only reason I went shorter is to keep it from scrubbing with my car being so low..So far so good!! Thanks
