Lightbulb Homemade Airdam Round 2

I got the first one finished and mounted. It took more like 6 hours to do the job. As I said in the original thread, I added 1.5" to the height of the airdam to close up the gap at the roofline a little and make it as tall as the rack. The shaft collars are aluminum (painted) and the hardware is all stainless steel. I think it looks better than the first one.
In case you missed the original, here is the link: Homemade Airdam For Factory Rack

I will continue making more and hope to have some ready by the OBX Beach Bash.

I am curious about wind noise as well, I would think with the small gap it would make a mini wind tunnel.
