sorry the airdams are only made for 99-01 F-150's... the 97-99's had the fog lights that were integrated into the bumper.

Dang Lariat! is that a genuine steel? LOL. If it is I'll be able to let you know in a few days whether it works or not, I don't know why it wouldn't though... I bought a genuine steel brush guard today, hopefully be picking it up tomorrow or the day after.
Looking to recruit some Denver area help though... not sure I can lift it and place bolts in it at the same time by myself .

To answer your question, YES but you have to cut about a square inch from each side, but don't worry its not in any obvious location, you can't even tell after installing the brush guard that you cut the airdam... I'll take some pics later and post em... woohoo, the airdam and brushguard combo look AWESOME!

I apologize I have not yet... I'm going in in a few days to pick up a few more sets of lights though, I should be able to find out for you then.

Greg, unfortanetly I can't have my 4-wheel parts deliver it to your 4-wheel parts... I could ship it to your address though, it'd be about $25 shipping though (most of that is ebcause of the large size of it, not the actual weight), your better bet may just be to contact your local 4-wheel parts and get one through them, it'll probably end up being cheaper.

Question

Matt-

I need to know if it matters if the airdam(stock) you replaced needs to have the fog lights on them. Did yours?

I found a front bumper, but it does not have the lights with them. I would not think it would matter, but I want to make sure before buying it. Does anyone have an answer for me? Thanks!

way2big - while Im pretty certain that it should not matter whether you have the lights or not (especially since the instructions read "remove the factory fog lights - if equipped") If ANYTHING you would have to drill some holes where the existing fog light brackets shoudl go, but I'm 99% sure those holes should already be drilled though.
As for the PIAA's being tough, trust me... there tough. I've dragged them along wrongs, whacked them against tree branches, even dropped one from the roof while installing it, (about 7 feet) and it survived with only a minor ding in the lens. Go figure. While the lifetime warranty doesn't cover damage to the lamp itself, I've never heard of one being damage other then when a vehicle rolled on top of one.

Thumbs up

Has anybody done this with a Manik guard yet(or any other guard)? I have one and I am eyeing this PIAA airdam as my next mod. Looks sweet.
