LOHRTBT....lower airdam question

My truck has the rollpan in front like yours, however I dont have the lower airdam as you do. I really like the way yours looks with it installed and would like to know how hard it was to make fit, or if there were any special modifications required other than drilling holes. It seems that the airdam makes it look lower and also hides the undercarriage/swaybar etc from view.

Anyway, Im serious about adding this to my truck so any info you can give me will be greatly appreciated

heres a pic of my front

Hey, sorry I didnt see it before. :

Its only held on by the few stock mounting holes in the plastic damn. Its got the factory one and the corners are just trimmed a bit by the fenders. I would guess that you just need to drill holes in the lower half and just use a factory type screw/nut assembly like mine has to hold it on. I need a new one badly since its warped. If I do it soon, I will get you good pics of everything.

Okay thanks

I want to do this soon to my truck so I appreciate the help. I also was thinking that maybe an airdam off of a 88-98 truck might fit because it kinda has the shape and doesnt wrap under at the ends like ours. I wanna do something because this has bugged me for awhile and yours looks good IMO :p

The bow isnt that much different, I still need to measure to make sure from a truck at my work. It was just an idea to try something a little different but still keep it GM :p
