#1 do these fog lamps detract from the front of my '81?



I still dont know if I am sold on the idea.... I cant decide what looks better, lights or no lights...

I am contemplating removing the body kit from my '85. Mainly because the Air Dam got destroyed while towing it. (steep driveway, V10 Dodge Ram, tow driver not thinking = OMGWTF!!!) So should I take it off, or just save up for a new one and throw it back on.



J/W what you guys think.... Let me know!

Loose the lights or try another place to mount them.

Replace the Air dam

 

I have an old Mariah from dam laying around that is in worse shape. After doing all the glass work on the widebody, I'll fix the front dam one of these days, Materials should be less than $50, labor will be nearly as much as a new one, if I sent it out.

 

Uh, that isnt a current pic of the damage the air dam is a TOTAL loss. I had to take it off because it was essentially ripped completely off.
I would consider buying one if somebody had one in decent condition

 

Scrap lights and air dam. Build custom front air splitter and buy these lights

 

Any other opinions?

 

ill be lookin for that airdam in the future

 

 

I saw the pic of the other side, wasn't as bad as this last one. It can still be fixed, with effort. Post pics of the rest of it.

 

i like the looks of big circular rally style lights, just my opinion though.

 

I suggest the air dam is repairable if you retained most of the pieces.

Tape it on the front into shape, then use fibreglass resin from the back to glue the parts together. Use two/three layers of the fibreglass cloth over each break to give it strength. After its all set, take off the front sticky tape and use filler to get a smooth shape. The whole job should take less than an hour.

Undercoat and paint as usual, the hardest part being the patience rubbing down to get a great finish. These days any good paint shop will mix you up matching paint in a spray canfor a reasonable price.
