Underneath bumper

Can someone post some pics of the area underneath the car .. leading from the front of the bumper.. all the way to the airdam

I'm missing most of those parts... and not sure what they are supposed to look like .... I got some plastic and fiberglass here but once again.. not sure how the actual layout is supposed to be

The shroud .. radiator there... is hanging loose/may have something missing too

Obviously my '87 is going to look different than your '91, I also don't have an air dam, but...

Ooops

Uhmmmm looks like I'm missing "a few parts" hmmm

What confuses me a little bit is this ... I tried finding the lower valance on Ebay... it lists as 85-90 ... but nothing for 91-92

AHA !!

Found part of what I'm missing

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7998171444

I'm missing the airscoop dealy ... and also what I think are bumper support bars ... plastic bars whatever one may want to call them .. that connect the bumper's lower edge to the body ... kinda like plastic stiffeners

Looks like I may have some manufacturing to do

Well ... now I know

Drove on base today .. saw some Camaro's ... looked underneath them.. of course not all of them had everything in place .. but anyway.. one had.. so.. this is what I'm missing:


1) Air scoop .. leading from front of bumper cover up to the radiator ... not talking about the airdam here

2) Support brackets/supporting plastic edge .. on the very inside edge of the bottom of the bumper cover

3) Left side .. corner ... flat piece right infront of the wheel .. kinda closing in the open area between bumper cover and wheel

4) Same as no.3 but on the right side


Question is ... where do I get these parts ? Can't find them on E-bay, YearOne .. nothing ...

Junkyard is an option .. but Camaro's in the junkyards usually have beat up front bumper covers anyway

Making the parts myself ... well .. last option ... since I have to reinforce the thin plastic sheet I got ... all parts I'm missing are made out of the same thick black ABS plastic as the airdam

Ok.. well one of them i can tell you you may not find at all.. at least not seperate and that is the bottom part of the front cover those bars that connect it to the body. mine are actually part of the cover... The rest you should be able to find in a local salvage yard as long as it did not take a front hit.

nope. but the bars to.. the rest are other parts... like i said. you can go to the local salvage and if you find a thirdgen camao you should be able to get your parts without much trouble if ou find one that was not smashed in the front end.
