86 firebird trans am Air Deflector

I have a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, that is missing the lower front air deflector. I am having problems locating any for sale online. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to where I could locate one.

The only ones I can find seem to be after market, and dont fit.

Good luck finding one.... The one on my sons GTA is a one piece wrap around and it's no longer reproduced anywhere. I had to replace it with a 3 piece unit off of ebay. Not the best idea but it works.

Re: 86 firebird trans am Air Deflector

All,
Thanks for the responses, it seems like this is the part I will need

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/pr...Deflector.html

The only other question I have is, is there side components to it as well? I noticed that the after market deflectors come with side pieces, but this one doesnt.

Thanks again.

Re: 86 firebird trans am Air Deflector

Some early models had a one-piece air-dam (deflector) like my 84. I want to say they changed to the 3-piece style in 87 or 88.

Just so we're talking about the right piece, this is the part that hangs down from the front of the car to force air up and over the radiator right?

This is what I have..

Lower Air Dam
