I just won an auction on eBay for a brand new old stock fiberglass independent front spoiler. Trucknvans was liquidating old stock and I got it for $26 plus shipping. Not a bad price.

Here is a picture:



I don't know if this is a picture of the actual piece though, since the description said the piece is in black paintable gel coat.

Has anyone installed one of Trucknvans 75-91 Ford fiberglass independent front air dams? Any tips or tricks? Does it just bolt on?

Thanks.

Deff on the good price! not real knowledgeable on Ford but cant B more that some bolts,or pop rivets,an panel adhesive.....

Or ya could "mold" it on !

That is what I am hoping. I need to paint it to match my van (well, if it is black, I might just leave it) and then figure out how to bolt it on.

I drilled holes and bolted it to the bumper of my Ford

Even if you plan to leave it black, ya gotta paint it. Some 'glass gelcoated parts ive dealt with fade real quick in sunlight if they arent painted. they dont have the UV protection of paint.

Ah. Good point. Good thing my van is a factory color. $20 gets me a rattle can of paint.

No help on the mounting, but congrats on the win ! Great price/score there. . . .

Yep. It should get to me sometime mid week. Unfortunately, I am tied up with replacing the water pump and repairing some stripped/crossthread bolts on the motor of my sister's PT Cruiser.

Nice score Reed and great price....

Yeah. The coolest part is I wasn't really even looking. I was researching what the going price was for a NEW spoiler when I found the auction. The auction had less than five minutes left with NO bids! The price was something like $20 plus shipping, so I immediately bid. There was only one other bid about ten seconds before the auction ended.

I really hope it will go on the van easy and won't interfere with the running boards/flares already on the van. The auction says it is an independent spoiler, so I have my fingers crossed.

I'm sure it will be no problem at all to install....

It arrived! Looks like it bolts to the bottom of the bumper. I will have to remove the tiny factory air dam that came on my 89 Ford, but this one will bolt right on once I drill some holes out. The spoiler doesn't have provisions for my KC Fog lights, but they don't do much good anyway. I might turn them into auxiliary reverse lights instead.
