Probably doesn't help much considering what you're looking for, and the quality leaves something to be desired - but just for fun I'll post mine. This was after I hit a raccoon and subsequently ran off into a ditch.



By the way, benoit454, your car is looking better everytime I see it!

Hey I hope these pics help out. Not too sure if these are the pieces you are asking about. If you need more info just let me know.

-Anthony

First pic is front air dam piece that goes right under radiator. I circled one of the bolts that secure it. It just bolts right to the bottom of the radiator support.

This is the second pic of that piece that extends from the front lower body kit to the frame. i circled two bolting points. #1 shows one bolt that secures this piece to holes on the front frame. #2 shows one screw that secures this piece to the lower body kit.

Hey benoit, I think I know what pieces you are talking about now. I have an 83 Z28 that has a similar front clip to yours & underneath should be the same. If I have time I'll take some pics & post tomorrow.

no problem see i got a pair of other fenders that came w/ my car they too had the same skirts as mine accept they were shorter i was goin to change mine w/ them because one of mines busted but they were to short fomr the bumper to the rad so wouldnt work so im not sure what my parts came fomr but i got 2 fenders a rear bumper cover w/ gfx and another hatch that had an 88 and 1/2 early 88 low rise spoiler like the z28s due and it was on the hatch i got so its hard to tell what parts i got n what they are off of my dash pad outs of a t/a or firebird cuz it dont fit either.
it was nice gettin extra parts but not nice when u cant use em n they settin round junkin up space goin scrape em soon i guess.

thats how mine looks!!!!!
see how on the ends the 2 sides go fomr bumper ro core support?
and then the center section?
thats exactly the way mine is.
looks like yurs has another piece on bottom of it tho.

could it be that mine is fomr a trans or firebird and not camaro?
or are these this way on maros as well.
i got the piece like on other camaros liek birds of prey the one goes on bottom of rad goes straight down. but it wont botl up cuz this one and mine bolt the the same spot on the rad.
im seriously thinkin mines fomr a trans or firechicken now
because were mine has them extra holes looks like thats were the very botom piece in this on comes in.

the thgin i dont have like the camaros is the piece that goes up behind the ram air boxes fomr the front bumper for maros.

anyone shed some light on this?
camaros come w/ this same underskirtin as in this thread on this firebird/ trans am?
or was it only on trans/firebirds
cuz its on my sport coupe and fits quite well lol

Yea I think it is a firebird setup that you have. I just looked under my 83' & it doesn't look like that one. Then again I could be wrong. Maybe that setup does come on Camaro's too. Let me know when you get this all figured out cause I'm curious too now

yea im very curious as to whats goin on i know theres a junkayrd here w/ a trans or firebird dunno if it be any use or not the im hopin i get it straightened out tho i kinda like the look of the trans / firebird air dam more curvy and looks nice the camaro just sorta slapped on straight down piece doesnt look as good altho i like the idea of the piece goin behind the air boxed fomr the bumper to direct nice cool air in the air ducts.

yeah, it seems that the sport coupes have a slightly different air dam. if anyone knows the part number for the sc air dam that would great. my sportcoupe is totally different then my 89 rs or my dad's 85 z28. anyone got a good quality picture of a sportcoupe air dam?

forgot to note as well when i got my car i got some extraparts namely 2 front fenders and both had the lower air dam/plash gaurd pieces on em whatever u want to call em just like ones on my sport coupe and like the trans/firebird ones i tried usin em on my car because of one broke but they was too short from front to back so they wouldnt work and i hadnt seen them on another car on this post and they had be camaro ones least unless someone put them off a t/a or firebird on the camaro fenders as well. most of my parts came from a z28 since i got a rear bumper cover grey interior parts brown seats, air intake ram air setup,another multi port intake n fuel rails n all, 2 fenders a hood and a hatch.
the hatch had the low rise 88 and 1/2 spoiler on it like the z high risers but not as tall and it and the fenders and hood were red the hood was plain like mine no louvers or anythgin just flat.
so i dunno what the deal is on them ill try get some pics of em as well.
