From what I gather Steve says this piece is open. The part behind the license plate frame. Between the tow hooks.

Is Cole's problem with the fact that you made the lower valance taller than stock? I recall going a few rounds with him about that a bit ago. I made no progress of course...

To those who don't know Cole, he comes off as a very experienced racer in all kinds of competition because he reads the internet. He doesn't tell them he doesn't race, and is actually a professional spectator with no competition licenses in any organization.

I am sorry to say this, but you are wrong Pat. He does race professionally. Though I have yet to see a license myself. He is a REALLY good driver. But his vehicle of choice is not of the norm. It's his mouth. :rofl:

Sorry. Had to do it. The smart a$$ in me couldn't resist.:D

In no particular order:

Taping or closing gaps is streamlining, which is prohibited for DT.

If CompD would permit me to post there, I would go back. Not likely to happen though.:lildevil:

Steve claims to own 3 Duramaxes, but has never noticed that there is no air inlet under the bumper?

Interesting, maybe he owns all Chevy??? He should be able to use common sence and see the Chevy's have no air inlet below the bumper and would figure the GMC most likely doesn't??

ALL GMC pickup models of the year in question came with the same front fascia. They all have the center opening (22 1/2" x 2 1/2") to feed air to the radiator and transmission cooler. As a matter of fact there are plastic parts that fit behind this opening to direct the air to the radiator and cooler as well. This opening has never been blocked off by the factory on any GMC model pickup. Pat blocked this opening off in his along with the recover hook openings and fog light openings.The fog lights and there openings are also there stock on ALL GMC models. These are NOT options and are standard equipment on ALL GMC's.

Now if Pat admits that the rules are to keep you from cutting down the opening to the radiator, he has also just admitted that his truck is illegal, as removing just the entire center opening is just that!

The front fascia and bumper on the Chevy version is completely different as are the front fenders, hood and doors.

As for the rest of Pat's rambling I just do not care but we are to ALL follow the rules, even Pat, not just the ones we want to follow.

:confused: Maybe that's where the missing tables are hidden :dontknow:


OH crap... I told Pat to let it go...Now I start :eek:

Im sorry....but Mr Cole is completely FOS, as usual. Does he do that crap just to detract from someone else's accomplishments???

My OEM GMC air dam has the exact same black blockoff plate that Kat's has. So has every other 03-07 GMC Ive ever seen. Maybe he's confusing a truck he saw where the owner cut the center opening out to help cool his LLY? The foglight holes are there on all models, but blocked off in the rear of the opening on any truck without foglights.

It'd be great to design a scoop to go in place of that plate and feed it up to the airbox, though. Stealth ram air setup.

Oh, Kat....for one horrifying moment, I thought Cole joined here to post that. Dont freakin do that! :rofl:

Yup! Its official... your all NuTz!!! I think I'll fit right in here. In my opinion I think you should ALL listen to this guy. Who would know better about what's factory or not? As well as what's legal or not better than a guy who doesn't compete or own a D-mAx. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

Don't sweat this guy... Hey jealousy is the best form of flattery (so is imitation) <o:p></o:p>
