Yeah. You are missing a rare piece of plastic.

BTW. Welcome to the forum!

The fiberglass reproduction parts are junk for the most part. I didnt like them on my car, and neither does anyone else I've talked to that has them. I may have an extra set of factory pieces around here that I can sell you if you want them.

I've been missing those since I got my car in 03, they were hard to find so I just gave up and lived with that gap.

Re: this dosent look right? Help..

I bought a set that have a couple cracks for like $40 off ebay...that's how hard to find these things are, that people are willing to pay that for ones that are complete, but with a couple minor cracks.

Those pieces are made of a very hard, brittle plastic, and they always seem to break. I never understood how some of the most beat-up, ragged-on verts still had them in good shape, while my clean, well cared for 91 z vert didn't.

There was a guy on ebay, I wish I would have gotten them, that had a set of new NOS ones. Only wanted like $45/side, which is well worth it for those. The fiberglass ones are junk I have heard.
