I was always asking the same thing, but after some digging, i found this.
It was on another thread here on ThirdGen.

Youll need adobe acrobat reader to open it.

Its the front air ducting to direct the air straight to the rad, Ive actually been looking for those parts, cause mine are missing as well.

Cheers

Also in that pic is a glimpse of the air dam. IMO a very much needed part also.

thanks guys. I do have the air damn, but I dont feel like the baffle is something I need since my car doesnt overheat and it doesnt get that hot here, but it is good to know what those tabs are for

Well unfortunately, if you feel a vibration from I believe 55mph+ its probably the front lip flapping in the wind if your missing those parts (50/50 chance).
I am also missing the aforementioned parts, and when i got behind a tractor trailer with the mirror like doors on the highway, sure enough the front lip is flapping in the wind.

Im taking a piece of metal to attach to those tabs, then connecting a rod from the center, to the middle bolt on the airdam. Particularly because im tired of the flapping, and the droopyness of the lip.

Not like i meant to jack your thread or anything, lol.
