Plus they are the best shop in the area, especially for auto body work...

Dunno about the tire shop, that's a separate business next door... I would never buy a used tire, lol...

I took it out of the box and put it in the trunk.... Used the ski passthrough into the rear seat... Fit nicely for the ride to the shop...

I've installed mine and I have gaps, anyone know how to get rid of them???

I tried zip ties on ExclusivIS' but there are still gaps. Where do you position the zip ties for those who used them?

Thanks

Ok, I'm an idiot. How do you remove the 2 clips on the ends of the OEM air dam? Mine are getting mangled from the prying and pulling and still aren't budging.
