OK, picture time....

First is the 1" flat aluminum strut, next is the PVC pipe that I heated and bent to shape, it is fitted with Velco for a quick release (didn't feel like drilling holes if I'm not sure I'm gonna keep them..., Next is the fibre reinforced plastic sheet with the cut outs of the skirts, lastly is the finished product. They don't fit perfect, I tucked in the front and left a gap on the back as they overlap onto the rear bumper cover. Have had them up to 70mph and no issues.

Next are the HAI. 3" dryer duct from HD, ducted tapped onto the snorkel and routed to the radiator. Pretty simple.

Then the smashed O2 sensor that killed my mpgs
