Bow Ties, Air dam, Running Boards

[tomkingsae]

I know that these have all been covered on here before so dont kill me, but I would just like to have a solid answer for all three in one place. 1) where does everyone get their black bowties, i just de-badged and leveled my 07 lt, and i think i would like a set of black bowties. Where is the best place to get them... my local body shop gave me a pretty reasonable price to shoot em but i hate giving up my truck for a day.

2) Has anyone who removed their front lower air dam noticed any cooling issues? I would really like to get rid of mine, preferably before the road to my duck blind does it for me. i know earlier there was a bunch of posts about it but i couldnt really find a concrete answer.

3) also, to  anyone that has removed the running boards, do they all just unbolt and come off or are there some modifications that need to be done. I read somewhere on here that the bolts that hold the running boards on also hold something else on... what is the protocol for this?

Any help would be great! thanks!

Also, anyone know where i could get a pair of Nitto Tera Grapplers in like a 305 size for a 20 inch wheel cheap? thanks!

 tomkingsae You should just paint the bowties black yourself with Krylon Fusion paint, that is what most of us have done.
The nerf bars are just bolted in so they  are easy to remove. You need to re-install the bolts after you remove the nerf bars. Depending on your set up you will probably need slightly shorter bolts. I know when I installed mine the kit came with slightly longer bolts.
Can't help with your other questions, but someone will be along shortly

-Bow ties: got mine on ebay
-Lower air dam: ran w/o it on a long trip in spring from CA to AZ w/ no problems
-haven't done the running boards yet but heard it's easy.
-Nitto's: get price from tire rack or similar place.  Price it and print out quote.  Go to local dealer and see how close they'll get.

good luck
