Re: Am I missing something?

There should be a piece that goes from under the bumper to the top of the radiator. It is black plastic and directs air to the radiator. It's hard to see from the top but completes the sides and boxes in that area. At least on all my firebirds and parts cars that I have had. V8,s 87 86 89 92. It is angled at about a 45 degree up under the core support. HTH

There should be a plastic shield there. Looks like it got taken off for your neons that was put on.

Re: Am I missing something?

interesting.

thanks very much for the picture. it looks like it connects to the upper baffle piece as well. is that correct?

would putting this piece back on perk up the front spoiler any?

I dunno, I've never not had it, but it's designed to help direct air flow to the radiator, I wouldn't want, not to have it.
