Does anyone have a good example of how to cut the shroud as the final step of the Air-Graber install? I am looking for a clean professional looking trim. Best picture wins!

I basically just did a wedge shape outside the edges of the Vararam gasket down to right above the top of the RAM on the shroud. Then I put in 2 small spacers to keep the airflow gap intact. Don't have a picture, but I can go get one if the explanation wasn't clear enough.

Can take a picture please?

Pictures aren't great. Truck gets parked about 6" from my fence so I couldn't get a good one from a few feet back from the front.

Yeah I may do that if I notice any performance/temp issues this summer. Right now it seems to still be pulling enough air with how mine is cut and spaced. There's about a 1/2"-3/4" gap from my spacers, and I took the top 2 shutters out of the AGS.

I completely deleted my shutters/assembly

It looks great, but I live on a tropical island, so I need as much cold air that can be produced by my speed.

That is probably how that I am going to do it, but I was hoping to save the "RAM", but I guess I will have to sacrifice the RAM. (LOL, get it? sacrifice the lamb.)

I see what ewe did there.....lol
