Hello, Im putting the aero ground effects on my 83 camaro and I have a question about what is used to attach the plastic tabs that I had to make slots for on the bottom of the front fenders. Is there some kind of metal clip or something? Does anybody have a part number or a picture? Nobody around here has one or I'd just check it out. I know what ever GM used is different than the previous models. Thanks for any help.

 

I'll take a picture for you this weekend when I remove the chin spoiler from my '92 parts car.

 

okay thanks and if ya wanna sell the fasteners let me know!

 

Most of them break upon removal. Haven't seen many that didn't. I made mine out of 20 gage and some 10 mm bolts.

 

I need to know what this is supposed to look like as well, can anyone take a picture for me??? I took my car apart like 6 years ago and forget... haha... almost done though. Thanks in advance.

 

lol, I'm at the same point. I'm putting the chin back on, and where the plastic tabs go through the fender. I can't remember what attaches on the other side, was there a bracket?

Anyone have a pic?

 

Anyone have a pic of how it attaches?

 

Can someone please take a look back there and take a pic of how that chin attaches to the fender?

 

I will be researching this also. I had to buy a used spoiler to replace the spoiler I never had. If I can find a car around here to take a picture of. I will post it for you.

 

Thank You, I would really appreciate it!
What really sucks is I remember taking something off my donor car, but for the life of me can't remember what it looked liked or where i may have put it. I'm hoping if I see a pic, I'll be like 'oh ya that thing'

 

Ya, Whatever "that thing" is. I dont have it and will need to find one. Its hard to find something if you dont even know what your looking for. Either way. Im in the same boat as you. I will post as soon as I find one. I'll drive around town looking for a car if I have too.

 

Have you had any luck?
I'm going to be taking my car in for painting soon, I need to find these pieces

 

Not yet. Still working on it. I was out of the state all weekend. It kinda slowed me down. Im hoping by this weekend I can find something.

 

Can anyone here, take a pic of behind there? We just need to see what part attaches the chin to the fender.

I know I have whatever it is, somewhere here. I just can't remember what it looks like.

 

I did figure out that the plastic tabs on the spoiler fit into the slots on the fenders. Then there is just a metal clip that goes over each tab. Im trying to find a picture of these clips.

 

I also found this. Does this look familiar to you?http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?p=435866 Scroll to the top of the page. There is a picture

 

Yep I have those, those are the ones that go toward the front of the chin.

The clips you mentioned yesterday, I think I know what you're talking about.
Are they the ones that have the little teeth on them.

I think I have some of those, I'll look.

 

I'm not sure what the clips look like. I have never seen one. I went to the dealership and the couldn't help me either. I emailed Denny at the ThirdGen Ranch about it. Hopefully he gets back to me.

 

I found one of the clips I 'thought' was it, but it's not too small.

Can anyone walk outside and take a quick pic of this for us? I'm taking the car in on Monday to get painted, and I want to make sure I have everything they need to put it back together right.

 

Does this help? It's a pic of how the front left corner of the GFX is attached to the front.

Also a view that shows the front clips to the frame.

 

Thanks for taking those pics, but the area we need are where the chin has those tabs that go through the fenders. Something is supposed to attach to those tabs on the inside of the fender. Not sure what they look like though.

 

You know any other time. I would see camaros running around all over. Now that im looking for one. I cant find a single one running around town. Im still on the look out.

 

T-Top Havoc,
Thanks for sending me the pictures, not quite the area of the chin I need though.
I've got mine off the car, see these tabs something is supposed to go on these to help keep the chin up against the fender

 

the metal clips that go there is what i thought he meant. I guess not. I will look for some clups if u need em
Ray

 

I need whatever attaches to those tabs. I dont remember what they looked liked. If you have them could you take pic of them? I might rember where they are if i saw what they looked liked

 

I am not sure if they are the same, my 90 has metal clips that a single bolt, (bolt not screw) goes thru. There is a metal clip for each hole, under the bumper. There is a metal flat piece of galvanize with 3 studs to connect to each fender.

 

I believe it is 91-92 specific. The fenders have slots in them instead of holes for the plastic tabs. The 91-92 front spoilers are different than previous years. They have the vents on the sides under the front fenders.

 

Oh Yeah!!! Who's the man. ME!! I rode 100mi on my Harley today to find these.

 

woohoo!!

Now where did I put those!

thanks for finding a car that had them!!!!

 

No problem. It was by chance i found the car. I just happened to see it outside this auto repair shop as I was riding by. It was luck. The only third gen I have seen in weeks happens to be a 91-92 car. Now I have to find someone that I can buy these clips from.

 

so glad you found it!
If you find someone selling the clips, report back. I still haven't been able to find the ones I had.

 

That looks Alien to me!! LOL!!
When someone gets them put on, please post pics?!!?

 

Im confused. These are pictures of them on.

 

Those are the ones i know i have laying around here somewhere but have not found them yet. Honestly you are the man but just because you have a Harley lol. Great pics ! Thx for helping out in this thread!

Robert do u need these clips he has pictured? I can check on cars in yards this weekend. I dont think its the same as what you were talking about in the original post though lol.
Lmk

 

Ours is an 87 body with 92 FX.
Would it fit // work??

 

pretty sure it would, but 91 92 fenders were a little different size i have heard, but u have 87 that would possibly not match the chin spoiler mounts but of course it is done all the time here. I think its just a matter of drilling new holes and filling old ones possibly but ask around !
87 or 92 front bumper?

 

Ok, here we go. This is a photo of my driver fender. Its a junkyard fender from an older camaro. 80's most likely. Notice the 3 small oval shaped holes. Those are for the older style front spolier. The 2 rectangle slots obove them are ones I cut for the 91-92 style front spoiler. I copied them from my 92 fender and cut them out with my die grinder. You dont need the 3 small holes with the 91-92 style front spoiler. I believe the bumper covers are the same.




RCAR7395, I could use 4 of those clips if you find some. I was going to ask if you hand any of those when I bought that front chin spolier from you. I forgot to though.

 

will look thru my stuff and in yards , i know i have en somewhere lol !

 

Great, Thanks. They seem to be as rare as the front spoiler itself.

 

I was wondering what they look like when put on.
I don't think my Bride would like me to try & make the new wholes!!

Ray, 87 fenders.
Also, would you happen to have the braces for the frame-to-chin // fender for 87?
I'll MMS you a pic if that would clarify what I mean. Ours are somewhat bowed. Are they supposed to be?

 

U need both fenders?

 

I think i have or can get the braces for fender to the chin and will look for 87 fenders
Ray

 

Ray,
I don't need fenders

I'll send you pics later this evening

 

I think I may have actually found mine! Can't tell, they look smaller than the pics but I don't have the car here to test. But they look really similar to what you found, and I have 4 of them. So the count is right!

I hope they are them!
