new airdam

Well I can find any front airdam I like, so I looking at building one.  I started to play around in paint last night and came up with these two so far

looking for an aggressive and functional one, maybe run some brake vents and also put an oil cooler in the open area

first one, kind of like a typhoon


second one


third

No vents would be best I think. You want the air to go over or to the side rather then under.

I'm leaning more towards the first one, middle gap will have a scoop behind it to catch the air and force it onto the oil cooler I'm going to put down there

might as well do the bumper as well, and save some weight?

Yeah, if you're going to go glass, you could even start with one of the bolt on glass front bumpers and build off the bottom whatever you want.

HectorM52 did something similar recently - it's about post #2354 in his project thread if the page link doesn't work

he did what I was wanting to do, but I'm not sure what will come out of this.....just picked up a stock airdam to play with

All he did was make the frontend look better. I ain't knocking it, looks good and PT is a combo of looks/ performance. Might have picked up a minuscule % of areo but I doubt it. If you put a splitter on it will help. You want the air to go over or to the side...not under. It's like a plane wing. Lift comes from low pressure above the wing, not high pressure underneath like most think. Deflect the crap air from under the truck, make low pressure, make suction....win. F a "wing" from what I have read a splitter that is adjusted correctly does more then and spoiler (wing) will ever do.

bahahaha

I've always wanted to get a lip off of a colorado and try it. 

little update.....going with the style Hector did.  I'm going to run support bars also just like NASCAR.  Going to make mine out of fiberglass.  Here's my card board mock up for now.  Might put less lip
