Clean up the front end

Well, my plan was to finish the pics last night, but I got distracted as always.



The first pic is just the naked front end, but you'll notice that since I don't have a stock front end anymore (below, courtesy of FastPlastic), I lack the air dam that kept most of the air out of my suspension.



so this is my remedy for that. It's actually a square sheet, but the picture makes it look odd. Also it should be noted that it will clear my tires at full turn by about 2 inches



As far as attachment points, in the front I plan to tie into the built in ones behind the bumper face (normally where you would relocate the vacuum ball from the stock setup). As far as the rear end goes, I will either drill and make a bracket on the front end of the lower control arm mounts and allow it to self-adjust based on suspension travel. Or else I may have to hang the piece off of the framerail before the suspension and find another way to support it.
