Not sure what the side pieces are, but it looks like a camaro air dam to me. The T/A air dam is longer and skinnier.

While we're on the topic, my 83 Trans Am is also missing its air-dam. I think that I could bolt a camaro air dam on and it will work all the same. Will it work?

firebirds have the longer air dam that goes side to side. not sure if the camaro will work, Made my own out of aluminum, cause I could not find the firebird air dam.

I know what the firebird air dams are, I just wanted to know if I could use a camaro air dam instead, because I cant find a firebird one for some reason.
