Re: what a difference the air dam makes!!

Mine was broke and part of it was hanging so I took it off (DID not know it was needed)...lol! My temp is still fine driving but if I sit in a drive through to long it will climb above 200 and it never did that before. Lucky though I found new ones on ebay for around $30 so I plan on getting one real soon.

is your car considered to have an "aero package" ???

Mine has all the extra plastic parts under the fog lights just like yours, so I bought an air dam that said "this air dam is for trans am's with The Aero Package" so I got that one.

Re: what a difference the air dam makes!!

Mine broke off on the way to work today, so I went down to the parts dept and they had to order it. Guy told me it was $25, why you guys payn $30+shipping on ebay when the dealership is cheaper
