    I am going to take off the air dam on my new truck. Do you all who have already removed it put the bolts back in the truck to fill holes and just keep them put up with air dam in case you put it back later?
    I was thinking of putting the bolts back in holes on the truck but afraid thrley will work loose and i will loose them.
    What is the majority of you all doing with them? Thank you

    Well I dont have an Air Dam so I can't help you as far as what I did. That being said, If I did have an Air Dam, I would simply remove them and put them in my toolbox.

    I keep a little ziplock of excess bolts, lugs and stuff in my console as well.

    I put the screws back in to keep from losing the nut clips. Loosing a clip is unlikely, but. . .

    I did this because I might slap the dam on for a long road trip.

    Removing the clips seemed to not make any sense, to me.

    Put them back in to hold the real cheap metal "clips" that they screw into..... If you don't, then remove the clips or you'll lose them..!!
