As cheap as it is, I’d say it’s worth ordering and giving it a shot. I picked one up at a scrap yard awhile back from a late-90’s GM P/U for my ‘85, but life happened and I never got serious about it.'85 CV coupe- 351W, T5-Z, FAST Ez-Efi, shorty headers, 2.5" duals with knock off flowmasters, 2.5" Impala tails, seriously worked GT-40 irons, Comp 265DEH cam, 1.7rr's, Mallory HyFire 6A, Taylor ThunderVolt 50 10.4mm wires, 75mm t/b, 3G alt swap, 140mph PI speedo, PI rear sway bar, '00 PI booster/MC, 95-97 front spindles, '99 front hub bearings/brakes, '92-'94 front upper control arms/ball-joints, 3.73's with rebuilt traction-lok, '09 PI rear disc swap, '96 Mustang GT wheels with 235/55R17's.

And it would give me the option to pick were i want to mount the fog lights.

Click on insert image icon then paste the URL of your image. The image needs to be hosted on a third party server like imgur.
As far as the spoiler goes it's for a Dodge van. Granted, I don't know how well it would fit on 88-91 because the bumper isn't as wide on them. I will be swapping to a newer nose soon and will come up with a new spoiler solution so stay tuned for that.

Seems neat but i guess everyone else lives in places that roads and driveways don't totally suck. Even at stock height i'd be afraid to tear that thing right off around here. Never been huge on racy cosmetic enhancements anyway really but wonder if this would actually provide any aero benefit. Thoughts? I haven't lowered my car even a little because the roads here completely blow. As little as i drive the car, it would still make me crazy having to be so careful everywhere.

If you haven't seen it yet, I have a thread with a couple of ideas to consider:
My rubber air dam under the rad support definitely did something, though I can see why people would not want to bother. I haven't even had it on for a long time since it's not suitable for winter weather and I have some maintenance stuff that hasn't been getting done. I don't drive much anyway (I work at home), and I've been getting some benefit from the second idea, which is a slight rake. A downside with that is actually feeling the car is not level despite seat adjustments, but that doesn't really bother me. My sense was that any additional benefit from using both the air dam and rake together was nowhere near the magnitude of using either alone (similar to 'the law of diminishing returns'). I also have a vinyl piece to prevent drag from the rear bumper cover, but I have no idea if that would be in any way applicable to boxes.Last edited by IPreferDIY; 05-06-2019, 12:50 PM.
