Nice find. It looks good and you may find it helps with mpg. One of my first mods was a ScanGauge so I could monitor engine temps accurately. Then I could start grill blocking with confidence that I would not damage my engine. Instant mpg really helps with Eco-driving too. It costs more than your air dam did but it is worth every penny IMHO.

P.S. Now you can extend your side skirts to match.

P.P.S. Be careful with that beautiful air dam come winter in Rochester.
