Re: air dam for non ground effect cars?

My old 87 Sport Coupe that I bought in '92 and just sold earlier this year had an air dam different from both of those. The one from PerryPam looks like a base Firebird airdam, but I'm not positive. The second ebay dam you listed is what my '89 RS has, and while it will fit a Sport Coupe, it is not what came from the factory. The factory dam was shaped like an elongated "C" and covered much of the bottom of the front plastic SC bumper cover. Of course there was a long piece connected that hung low. I broke mine off years ago, and patched it up with fiberglass. Stayed together for another 18 years till it rode off into the sunset...

Anything 82-4 would be belt fan+shroud. Air dam useless to those. Will it fit any year, sure

82-84 coupe air dams on the right and and 85-87 Coupe air dams on the left.




I'm almost positive that the "smaller one" shown in your post is an EXTENSION used on the 85-87 Camaro Coupe, LT and Berlinetta air dams.
