      Very nice. Now I just need to get my iS airdam to sit flush at the top against the bottom of the bumper, and I'll be happy.

            How come your rear paint above the bumper is a dingy yellow, but the freshly painted apron is bright white?

                are you using the factory mounting?

                    Yeah, but I know that one of the 3 lower mounting brackets is cracked, and the two that stick out from the front are pretty flimsy. We're planning to replace those with custom made metal ones, and I'm going to see what I can do about fabbing up something to bring up the sagging area in the center up.

                      Pretty cab :) Makes me regret changing from white to black :(

                      If you have the rockers painted, make sure it is prepped to a smooth surface first. I had mine painted body colour (diamantschwarz) during my respray, but it looked weird with the rough texture. It's covered now by the M-Tech II sideskirts so no big deal, but it will probably stand out more in white.

                      Good luck & yes, please do post more pics ;)

                          I definatly dig it.

                          In my opinion NOTHING short of tearing off the diving boards makes the an early car look better than an IS air dam.

                          I am going to begin re-repairing mine and preping it for body color paint next monday, cant wait. :D

                          Sold it.
