camaro air dam fit a T/A?

When I first got my T/A, the air dam for the radiator was broken off and sagging in the middle, so i took it off.....stupid mistake. here a year and a half later with massive cooling problems I got everything undercontrol but that. I emailed hawks and asked them but its been a week now and no reply. so will a camro air dam bolt right up? or do I need a T/A spec one?

I used a 91' RS on my 91' GTA. But heres a post i found:

One thing that confuses us is that we call this component an "air dam" of which there is no such part.

On the T/A's for example the cooling system consists of 3 main parts and none of them are called an air dam. So some people get confused on which part they are looking at or for.



You need all three but the extra wide strip at the bottom is the "least" critical.

Don't bother calling anyone, I just ordered one for my GTA a few days ago. Came second day air, perfect condition and it bolted up no problem. It took all of 20 minutes to do it and half of that was just sliding under the car, lol.

Go see your local dealer--for several reasons: 1) most air dams(air deflectors, as they're also called) are still available from the dealer; 2) it'll be the same price(or very close) as anywhere online; 3) you'll get it the next day; 4) there's no shipping charges; and 5) you'll know you're getting the right part for your car!

I just got a new one for my '87 Formula. It was one piece also, but it's for without gfx, so it'll be a different part number than the one for your TA with its gfx.

I tried shopping online for one, but it was just too difficult to know if I was gonna be getting the correct part. You wouldn't believe how many different types and sizes there are!!! And it's likely that no one you'll deal with can tell you anything specific about them.

Go see your dealer!
