help me identify these air deflectors

My dad has these in his basement... they're NOS and they were purchased in January of '87. The pt# on the boxes are 14090159 (Deflector LH) and 14090160 (Deflector RH).

My sister has an '86 IROC, and he thinks he bought them for that car but they didn't fit. I also have an '88 Trans Am, but obviously we didn't have that car when they were purchased. So what are they??

BTW, once we identify them, I'll be posting them in the Parts for Sale section if any1's interested...

The 1st pic shows both, but note that the 1 on the left is flipped upside down so u can see the bottom.

Re: help me identify these air deflectors

I'd take them (or just the part numbers) to the dealer and see if they can find newer part numbers. I'd say I have to agree with the guy above in that those look like they are for a Camaro, as they are probably too short for your TA from front to rear (hold one up to the parts on your car and check). BTW, the "upside down" pic is how they install to the car. The 3 bolt holes in the center section will bolt to the radiator support and it looks like they will join in the middle.

These have been replaced with newer parts, if they indeed ARE for a Bird/TA. Those are the upper 2 parts of the 3-piece deflector, which is now a 4-piece deflector (probably to make more money on more parts). The lowest part isn't there.
