I didn&#8217;t like how the front end looked without the lower part, so I decided to trim the spoiler so that I can reinstall the lower bumper pieces only and still have tire clearance. Because of the shape of the spoiler pieces there was no way I could trim it other than by hand, so first I picked up a second front spoiler set from another member here on the forum. With my trusty Dremel, it took me about 45 minutes (and a lot of melted plastic bits everywhere) to first trim and then smooth out the edges. With the trimming done, I reinstalled the parts underneath the bumper. I like how the truck looks higher without the front lip part, but even better now since it no longer looks like there&#8217;s something missing down there.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_412\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-412\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-412 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trimmed spoiler below, original spoiler up top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413\" src=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_spoiler2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trimmed spoiler installed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With that out of the way, the mudflaps just need a small trim on the lower edge for clearance.
