Re: lower air dam

You could use 5/16×1 1/4" bolts and flat washers...I ordered a set from LMC when I got my new air dam..Part # 30-0992 - AIR DEFLECTOR HARDWARE KIT*..the lmc kit has 5/16" retaining clip nuts and self starting bolts

Re: lower air dam

Does the air dam do anything besides hiding the A arms?

Re: lower air dam

Believe it or not , The lower front spoiler on the bumper does have a function . It creates a low pressure behind it which helps pull air thru the radiator .
