I kept fooling with the electronics while rocco buffed out the scratches. Washed it, waxed it, and cleaned out the inside....again. Waxing a full size van sucks! Thank god for winders

I got my $26 air dam installed. I rattled canned it the same color as my van last night and it turned out OK, but I need to put another coat of paint on since there are a few light spots. Before the air dam with the fog lights:  With the air dam but no fog lights (air dam uses the same bolt holes the fog lights were mounted in):    This air dam mounts in the same holes as the smaller factory air dam that was on the van, so I had to remove the original air dam to make way for this one. I like the raised v-shaped section in the middle that matches the contours of the license plate opening in the bumper. I need to figure out a way to mount the fog lights again without cutting into the air dam. I am making 600 mile round trip family road trip this weekend and hope to see if the air dam improves fuel economy. I miss the fog lights already, but I am pretty happy with this bargain spoiler.

I know they aren't hard to remove, I've replaced one already. Just hate to have to practically take the interior apart so it's done proper.

Not PNP. I got REALLY lucky on eBay. Trucknvans was have an inventory liquidation sale and I got the sir dam for $26 plus shipping. It was made in 81 and has sat on a shelf for the last 30 years. It has a few nicks and scrapes, but I don't drive a show van so I don't care!
Taking conversion van interiors apart is a pisser. Someday, I have to take the back end of my interior apart to fix a few problems like the rear AC and such. I don't look forward to it.

Dang! Now all you guys will steal my Social Security info!  Thanks for the compliments. I think it turned out OK for what it cost. It is nowhere near perfect, but I don't care.
