Default What is the name of this thing?

I finally got the car on the lift last weekend, and noticed under the front that there is a piece missing. Laying horizontally between the fenders and behind the front bumper, it looks like it should be a triangular shaped piece.
I can't seem to find this piece in the assembly manual, so I don't know if it is "air dam" or "filler panel" or "valence panel" or what.

Any ideas? I would like to get this replaced, but don't know even what to lok for, as far as doing a search that is!

Thanks,
Paul

Certaining sounds like you are describing the air dam. If you look from the front of the car do you see a wedge angled toward the front running from the center of the undecarriage about a foot in to the sides angled back? That is where the dam resides.

If you look in the assembly manual in the section for body you should see it there.

76Frankenstein, I think that's it!! I'll have to take another look, but I'm pretty sure you've found it! :thumbs:

Now, I guess I'll have to get that, and the front spoiler too, I don't think that's there either... :(

I just found out that my entire front suspension and steering systems are both shot, so I'll be saving change for that first though :mad :cry :banghead:

Later!
