I know quite a few have molded in the front spoiler.......
I strongly advise against it.make it fit correctly and easily removeable.
If not, IF the van should ever need to be towed.The roll back operator will REMOVE it for you.It will not be pretty...

 First of killer job on the air dam!!!!!!!!!! Second I was told the samething by the shop that has my van. If for show and mild use they said molding was OK, but for a daily, the chances of getting damage was higher and to repair a molded in set was a lot harder to fix and paint than a nicely lined up and bolted set. We might also put color fender welt(like what was used on the 30's and 40's cars) between the flares and body. It had black when I bought the van. It looked good!! Richard Thanks! I thought long and hard about it but with so many other custom mods on this van, molding them in seemed the right way to go. It is not going to be a daily driver when finished...it will be for show and light use (going to some evants and local shows).

Well eve occasional drivers have mechanical issues....
there is really no way to hook the van up to a roll back or even a wheel lift style tow rig with a low front spoiler in the way.
WITHOUT damaging the front spoiler.....
I am just trying to give a little advice to keep you from going through problems I have seen other vanners have to deal with in the future....
Fender welting was OK for flares that did not fit correctly...
