Those black things under the bumper??

[QwanSanchez]

The things in question are the black pieces of plastic located back and underneath our bumpers. I'm assumng that their there for better aerodynamics and wind noise at high speeds, but do they actually make a difference. I ask because i ripped my centersection off going over aspeed bump and i was considering just aking the two side pieces down.

the ones that help air get to ur rad? are they up front?

He's probably talking about the front airdam. It consists of 3 pieces, and costs about 80 dollars combined from the dealer. It's not too important on the street, since I've driven around w/o one completely for almost a year, but if you are going to do a track day or anything of that sort, you will overheat w/o it.

Thats odd, mine must be missing the centre piece too, though it does'nt show up on the parts list?

 

[rgs]

i dont have the center piece either...

 

[ReplicaR]

The center piece is usually the first one to get wiped out, since it's secured by a few push pins, where as side one are secuded by rivets. However, the center piece is the most important one for cooling. The others don't do much honestly. You can get the center piece from Late Model Restoration for like 13 dollars plus shipping.
