Looks alright. Paint the screws and you should be good to go.

I love mine...

I had to reinforce it a little bit and I have since painted the rivets.

How exactly do you have the bolts thread in?

I always wonderring how people drilled a hole and had a bolt thread into it somehow.

But Ive never been exposed to anything like that. Hows it done?

I dont know for sure, but I'm guessing they just used self tapping screws...
some people also use a nut and a bolt, or rivets..

Im diggin your front air dam man, it looks really good. I see you put a splitter on it too, how did it work on track? I have been thinking of doing something like that but unsure as of functionality.

Yes, each duct connects to a 3" high-temp hose which is adapted down to 2.5" before connecting to the knuckle mount.

the screws on mine wernt visible cuz the garden edgine i used had this little lip on the top which hid my screws! i also used metal rods behind it so it wouldnt flex while driving and to make the ends go straight down instead of flaring.

I prefer the stock lip but when done right this looks pretty good considering its ment for your lawn.

I don't mind flaunting my depot lip. Self tappin screws baby, none have fallen out so I'm good. I used some foam tape too.
Indestructible and prolly functional, but I haven't "tested" the functional part.
