It's dark out, but I'll go take a pic and see how it turns out. It's just the black plastic piece under your front end.

Now that I look at it, does anyone else's look like it slopes the wrong way like mine? Looks like it just pushes air down. But my temp cruising is fine.

I would think if it were slightly angle forward it would help scoop in more air.

CAMARO82,

If your car is an 82 like your name suggests it will have a different type of air dam. The early air dams were shorter, about half the length of Marks and are very hard to find. The later model ad wont even fit without drilling new screw holes and moving clips.
