    Where did you get the air dam from?

    A guy that took it off his Tacoma Sport. I think he put the hardware back on the truck.

    I left the hardware on mine as well but I believe you'll need more than just the bolts. There are a series of metal clips that reinforce the plastic lip there and provide the bolts something to screw into. I think they are part 28 in the diagram you linked.

    hmm could I go with just a bolt nut washer combo or would that be hard to get behind the plastic?

    It's super easy to reach since they're close to the edge. If you do go with a bolt/nut/washer I'd just head to the hardware store. It'll be cheaper than OEM and you'll have more common sizes available.

    That is the route I am leaning. I do have to remove one of the tow hooks.

    No need - there is a cutout on the passenger side for clearance already (if I remember right).

    You are correct but there is not one on the passenger side for the other one.

    I forgot you're in a TRDOR! You'll prob want to trim the air dam in that case.

    I could go that route but I definitely want the fuel economy. I think the tow hook is 4 bolts. I wont be offroading anytime soon so probably just best to stick it in the garage for now.
