Lower radiator air deflector

Anyone know what size the bolts are for this? Not the ones on the rad support the ones on the lower ground effects.

I believe they are a 10mm coarse thread but it's been a few minutes since I don't have that piece anymore

Get one of these. You won't have to ask anymore.

That doesn't do much good when you can't remove them to screw into the holes. I have some of these but on a plastic strip. I ended up getting an answer from a Facebook group. They are 6mm x 1.25.

Re: Lower radiator air deflector

So I thought I tossed this out long ago but turns out it has been living in the crawl space for some years. Before I throw it out what does that curved piece actually do?? Is it needed?? I know it's all part of the air dam system just can't remember it's function. Thanks guys

Re: Lower radiator air deflector

It keeps the air more directed towards the radiator. Also keeps the front of the bumper more ridged.

Re: Lower radiator air deflector

That piece was entirely too big to get back on with the front intercooler. So I just ended up getting a piece of sheet metal 12" x 24" centered it and bolted that to the intercooler and front gfx. So now air won't create any vortex in front of the intercooler should just go right up and under the car
