Hey all. Thanks to Caluke for sharing some details on his process with me yesterday.
I trimmed the factory airdam on my lariat last night. It wound up being a quick and easy process, and I like the resulting look and clearance.
Overall it took me 20-30 minutes. Pretty simple process:
I used 1-1/2" painters tape just below the factory bend to mark my cut line (any less and you see the gap between the skid plate and the valance). Then I slowly and carefully scored along this line with a new, sharp utility knife. Once a straight and smooth score line was made, I then cut it with a few repeated passes, a steady hand and some patience. Touched up the cut edge with a little sand paper and was done. I did it with the air dam in place and did not remove it, though that does mean doing the work lying down. Quick, simple and clean, and gives a little more clearance up front and a better look in my opinion.
