Lol i think he was kidding about that...

The air dam is this piece that i have under my bumper couple inches off the ground

thesickc10 · 11-19-2012, 10:02 PM

i like the way air dams look on certain trucks.

Search for front spoiler on the forum, I've seen some posts and links to companies still selling them. I need to get one as well, so let me know if you find it

There really was a Testarossa kit made although I've only ever seen them on the 92-99 Duallys. They were somewhat popular on that bodystyle dually around here. There is still one running around with one of those kits on it I see from time to time, the whole truck screams early 90's.

here is a site with pictures of these kits: www.showcars-bodyparts.com scroll down to the bottom of the page and there are pics of a ford and a chevy dually with these kits.

Just order the biggest air dam/valence thing from LMC. I think it's a 5", mine sits pretty low, I scrape it all the time. And yes those are zip-ties I sewed it back together with, my little brother pulled to close to a curb and broke it.

burb1085 · 11-20-2012, 02:13 PM

Diggin the camo paint on the lowered truck statiC10. Nice truck!

statiC10 · 11-20-2012, 02:26 PM

Thanks man! It definitely gets weird look from people but I like it.

Square_78 · 11-21-2012, 04:16 AM

Body kits on these trucks will REALLY date the look of it. Ground effects are a late 80's and 90's thing. Ive personally never seen any that actually look right on these trucks. But thats just my opinion.

Square_78 · 11-21-2012, 04:21 AM

This is what they looked like. This is a Mazda B2200 but you get the idea....

INSIDIOUS '86 · 11-21-2012, 04:58 AM

Oops puked in my mouth a lil

definantly not something I think belongs in a truck IMO

There are no sporty looking body kits for anything, they are all terrible!

Didn't the Sport or the Street Coupe come with some kind of front spoiler looking thing that didn't look so bad?

cory d · 11-21-2012, 06:48 PM

my uncle put a couple inches on conveyor belt material on his truck. keeps the air out and doesnt break when he drags it over speed bumps or draggin it allong other vehicals

you guys may not like the look of this mazda truxarossa kit, but it is a lot like a yenko to a hotrod guy. Very rare, and pretty valuable today.

and lower your truck more... use the body as a "kit"...
