I'll be going on a 600 miles trip next weekend so I went ahead and decided to make a quick air dams set.

I installed the coroplast front dam today and will post some pics later. I used what I had left from my lower grill block, we'll see how it holds up. I will make additionnal sheet metal wheel dams later this week. The front dam is not quite long enough to cover up the whole width of the wheel. My coroplast sheet was only 6 foot long and the bumper itself is not large enough. The rear wheels already have oem tiny dams which I'll upgrade.

Also, the upper grill block made of pipe insulation should be perfected. As the material gets used to its new shape, it has a tendency to become loose and can fall off when the car is parked in a side wind.
