ok i have a 88 formula bird i read a tech article somewhere bout replacing the air damn. it gave two part numbers which i dont have handy but anyways i new i needed the black air damn but i also got a silver one and all the times i have been under my car i never saw anything like that should i have one? are all the black air damns on 3rd gens the same? hope so i saw the part number and thought well that must be it.. i asked the guy at the gm dealer and he was an idiot and didnt know or didnt care to tell me so i hope i got the right ones and let me know bout the silver one case if i dont need it i will take it back 30 dollars in my pocket!!

All the air dams I've ever seen are black.

When you go there, ask for a "Lower Air Deflector", and make sure they don't give you one for a Camaro, because they are NOT the same part.

 

why one for a camaro? i have a firebird! just wondering if all the ta and the firebird no matter the year are the same.so i dont need the silver upper one?

ok i have the part numbers that i ordered and i got these from a web site called 3rd degree and it was they mostly based there mods on 85-87 TA's adn i thought since mine was a 88 firebird formula that the part numbers would be the same but anyways here are the gm p/n's for the air deflectors:
center one that is sliver p/n10020322
black air damn p/n 10017673
amy one that may be able to know if these fit 88 and up or any 3rd gen let me know i would have to hate to wait a week to get these parts again so let me know thanks!!

I said make sure they <h1>DON'T</h1> give you one for a Camaro.

 

If you have the right part # I wouldn't see how they could give you the wrong part. The T/A & Firebird had different deflectors,, the 'bird had a short deflector(#13), the T/A had a flat long(or tall,whichever) one to clear the gfx (you don't want this one)

Replacing the airdam is a good idea, not only does it help the car aerodynamically, but youll notice it looks a HELL of alot better with one than without.
