I'm wondering where to get a new replacement piece for the front bumper. It's a plastic piece that's bolted to the bottom of the front bumper that runs up into the car. It's pretty beat up just wondering if I can still get it new some where for cheap or can I just remove the whole panel and be ok?

 

Are you talking about the piece that directs air into the radiator? Because i'm pretty sure you can get one from year one or classic industries.

 

He may be talking about the little skirt/skid plate right under the bumper which attaches to the front of the bumper and directs air towards the air dam which is located under the radiator.

 

Sometimes if you check different body shops they can order parts for u. i have one that i use to get parts. i just bought the bumper piece behind the plastic, he ordered it they wanted $100 for it and he charged me $120 but it was easier than hunting one down. just a thought

 

This thing?
Front Bumper Removed

 

No, not the front air dam. It's a plastic piece that runs the width of the "chin" under the front bumper it's bolted down with about 3-5 bolts. I thought I could unbolt it pretty easily but it runs up into the car towards the radiator.

 

I knew I had a picture of it. This right...

 

I took a picture of it. It's the plastic panel that is bolted down. What is this piece called exactly?

 

Unsure, maybe bumper skid plate..haha, IDK? I plan just to have one made from sheet metal, give it a nice brushed look. Mine is all messed up, only 1 bolt on each side is holding it on.

P.S. Look up the Japanese blue IROC, he has a nice underneath where he used sheetmetal to make small plates along the underside to smooth it out. I plan to do this also. Way down the road after my front end is complete.
