Guess what I picked up at the Junkyard...?
So yesterday I went to the junkyard and picked up a Air Dam and the plastic molding that goes in the engine bay(forgot what its called). The air dam i painted it red(original OEM color black) and the plastic modling repainted it black..
Originally these air dams go for $50+ on Hawks and I got both of the pieces for $22 at the junkyard not bad...I think...
here are some pictures let me know what you guys think..thanks!

I have to ask, why did you paint the air dam red? Looks kind of cheesy if I can give you my honest opinion. Plus it's going to get scraped up and chipped from driving so eventually it's going to become less and less red and more and more black plastic.

Well you know...I just wanted some color under the car...but you got a point but you know when it comes down to the point that its all chipped and ugly I can just go to the junkyard again an get another one......but till then I like it...but we will see how long it'll withstand the elements.

Don't like the red, not that you will see it, but would rather just have it plain plastic.

Re: Guess what I picked up at the Junkyard...?
It might not be bad, what little bit that will be seen. There has been many people mount their license plates to the air dam to keep officers from hassling them for no front plate. I haven't seen the whole car but if you have red elsewhere it might not be too over the top. Looking at it from under the car it is a whole lot of red!
