If it scrapes too much, you can always mount it further aft, then block in the underside between both positions.

I would like to believe its far enough back to not scrape very often. Only worried about the parking deck ramps with it scraping and i would like to say its good, but only time will tell. I never go over speed bumps my luck on routes in the area and with parking spot curbs i always back in if their there

Edit: The air dam does scrape I have found in 2 areas: Parking deck ramps, and some parking lot exits.

I have found if I approach the parking deck ramps slow enough it will not scrape, so the current plan is to put a brace in the middle to help with stability. I also have plans on some coroplast smooth wheel covers.

I finally went out and got my self a 4x8 sheet of coroplast. So I found it was time to start with a grill block beings I'm about to fill my tank up. I started with the upper grill to more see how I liked working with coro and it seems durable enough to use finally seeing why everyone does use coro.

The left grill is blocked the right side is getting prepared atm.

Nice! Now you just need some black cable ties. Any plans for lower block?

[Gealii]

Actually the white zips are not very noticeable I looked from about 10ft away and if I wasn't looking for the zip-tie I wouldn't of noticed it. I am thinking about doing the outside sections of the lower grill if you take a look at the lower grill it is kind of in 3 sections. I got a lot of plans for this especially since when I got the 4x8 sheet I wasn't quite thinking it was going to be that big of a piece

If I can get a name change to this thread it would be helpful to.

Well I finished the entire upper grill today and tomorrow I plan on starting on the smooth wheel covers. I have also changed 2 other things; found how to turn the illumination off on my radio without killing it saving a little bit of energy, and I got some more relaxing music saved to flash-drive to listen to, city driving makes me a bit angry so hoping to change that.
