Dressing up Mike in AZ's Air Dam:
Everyone:
Those of us who have bought and installed Mike in AZ's custom airdam will attest to how much nicer a product it is than the GM stock one. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it is one of the best, most functional, and inexpensive mod's. that one can do for their SSR. As they say.....it is clearly a "NO BRAINER" addition! In fact, I believe that I will order another one from him as a spare.
Yesterday I decided to make an attempt to "embellish" the appearance of Mike's air dam by adding a little "bling" to it. Not that it really needs it, but I thought what the heck, why not give it a try.
First, I added a strip of bright chrome door edge molding to the bottom lip. Then, I added 5 of those bright chrome plastic licence plate fastener caps on the push pins securing the air dam. To get those caps to work with the push pin fasteners, I merely cut (split) the clear plastic inside retainer that comes with each cap. You pull out the push pin slightly to enable you to slip retained around and under the head of the push pin. Then you can press on the chrome cap, which will snap into place. BTW, on my SSR, I have Mike in AZ's auxiliary fan installed which utilizes a bolt and nut replacing the center of the 5 push pin fasteners. For that one only, I super glued the chrome cap over the head of the bolt.
I found this mod. interesting, as one can go with just the molding, just the fastener caps, or both. The other thing is that this mod. is somewhat subtle, in that you have to be either quite a distance away from the truck or bend down to even see it.
As is the case with the vast majority of the accessories and mod's. in this thread, this one is totally reversible. If you decide that you don't like it later at some point, you just remove it with no harm done.
