    I love my 07 Taco. I have Bilstein Shocks, lowered and 18" wheels w/265/60/18. Sheepskin seat covers are very nice.

    I would like to improve my Aeros w/Front Spoiler or Air dam.
    I'm sure something will fit?
    Has anyone done this?

    TIA
    Rick

    I made a smaller one with aluminum sheet metal. It connects to the skid plate using 3 plastic push in clips so it is easily removable.
    I improves air flow to the radiator, AC condenser and trans cooler. That's all I wanted it to do.

    That would be a good start,
    Especially if I do any towing!
    Cleaning up the Aeros is always a good thing.
    I didn't do a before/after mpg test. I should have.
    On a 20 mpg vehicle, an air dam/spoiler is usually worth 1 mpg.
    I notice the difference cruising at 70 to 80 is very smooth!

    So can you show some pics of how you did this? I would be interested.

    you might be able to find a 16-23 takeoff for free and see if it can be made to fit.

    You've heard of the X-Runner trim, right? You'll need the OEM X-Runner front bumper cover (with holes) and the spoiler pieces.
