Hey Cable Guy,
How do you take that sticker off of your truck, I think thats the worst looking thing. It looks good on a white truck, but my truck is black. Just need some tips so I dont mess up the paint.

Thanks

I took mine off with my finger nails....LOL!! Seriously, just started a spot and then continued peeling, then used my polish and wax...thats all there was to it.

To MidnightSTX:
The best way to take decalling off is to use a hair dryer to warm up the decal. Then when it's soft, use a piece of plastic milk jug(cut out a triangle) to start a peel (or use your finger nail). Slowly peel off the decal while you use the hair blower to shoot a jet of warm air on the back end of the decal. I used this method to take off the annoying dealer decals.

Hey Flats:
Where can I go to look up the price and details on the Air Dam? It's perfect. Is there a web site?

Hi selva1, I just got back in town and I will go get the info for you. I have been trying to find the Dam in my catalogs but I can't find it either. Check back in a few days and hopefully I will have something for you. Happy New Year!

Thanks for your efforts, Flats. I really don't like the look of my factory lower bumper, and your airdam is just sweet. Not too much, not too little. I'll check back at this topic for the info, or you can E-mail me from a link in my website.
thanks,

Good Morning selva1,
My Air Dam came from a Truck shop and I am not sure they are still making it, however, in the Feb issue of Truckin' on page 64, the 8th Dam from the top is very simular to mine. With this Dam you should have the same clearance that you had before but the "look" will be lower. I think the lights are another $50 or so. Hope this helps. Enjoy your truck!

Hi Chris,
From your profile it looks like you can bend you windows a little better than I can.
I am still working on the truck,as we all are, and will be concentrating on the performance end. I tried to load your picture but was unable to do so. It might have been my problem not yours. Anyway I would like to see a picture of your truck. Is it at another place on the site?
Take Care

Hey FlatsMan,

I think that airdam is made by GO industries. I think choo-choo customs uses the same one too. Cool truck you have there too, looks like we have similar tastes

The profile was messing up my picture link, but this could correct it. You can also check it out at www.rcst.com. I know you are not in Jacksonville, but we could sure use some more full size fords in my Rivercity Sportrucks club.

Anyway, this should fix the link.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,
I got the picture of your Truck and we do have simular tastes! I have to update my pictures soon because of some of the changes I have made. When I get the new ones , I will send you a couple. Take Care.

Hey FlatsMan,

I am working on getting the beast lowered too. I want to go 4/6 but think the height of the stock STX tires will pose a problem. Will probably end up going with the 3/4. I was also looking at a Mustang wing for my A.R.E. but may be looking into the Fiero wing instead now.

Thanks
