I say, install it now so we can use it as a snow plow for tomorrow's Rose Parade. It is so freaking cold in LA right now, down in the 50s, and I bet we will have probably 10-15 ft of snow tomorrow. I'm getting ready to hibernate.

We're in the '50s in Michigan today. Here, that constitutes a heat wave. I can see the pavement in front of my house for the first time in over a month.

As for the snow, we still have some left on the grass. If you don't get any today, PM me, and I'll send you some.

Yeah Never been a fan of the "box" look. plus airdamn with no side skirts or rear bumper just makes the front look like a plow.

I ran that air dam for years on my 82'. I loved the look and put a set of rectangular headlights in as the foglights (wired both hi/low with a relay). Insane visibility at night. It will grab speedbumps and potholes, so don't cry the first time it gets scraped.

However, over the years I have grown to like the stock front end, and that is how I keep my SE now.

Just cut it a bit higher then. I've seen similar bars to that with an inch or so taken off the bottom, helps immensely I've heard.
