91 GTA AIR DEFLETOR

Hi Guys, I need the lower air dam for a 91 GTA all 3 pieces(with mounting bolts if possible). I know it's a long shot but I also need the front ground effects. All I have under there is the core support and front bumper, everything else is gone. Let me know what you have.

Re: 91 GTA AIR DEFLETOR

Just so you know, it's technically 4 pieces. The radiator air damn is made up of 2.

Good luck.

I bought the drivers side air damn for the gfx from here:

Re: 91 GTA AIR DEFLETOR

Well, I hope I have some luck anyway. I found one from a standard firebird that will keep the car from overheating, but definitely not correct.

Yup, spot on! Just more than I was willing to pay since my originals aren't too bad. I was watching it though going back and forth lol.

If you ever find an original though in really good condition tho you should buy it, the original one, the portion that is the lower part, was originally softer than the later made ones even though they are the same part number.

Re: 91 GTA AIR DEFLETOR

So I received the 2 pieces to the center air dam. The smaller piece I am assuming is the part that gets painted. How does it mount to the larger piece? There are studs on the back side of the smaller piece. Do I drill out the larger one and use those plastic nuts to mount it?

Re: 91 GTA AIR DEFLETOR

Stupid phone problems, **** I'm pissed...

Anyway, yeah paint the smaller front piece to body color, then drill the larger rear piece for those 2 mounting posts to come thru. GM used these little press on metal lock washer/nut type looking things originally that just slipped over the posts and would not easily pull back off.

Yeah, it's the same thing with my car. I've been racking my brain and hitting up Google trying to figure out what front end stuff I need and I think I figured it out.

Here's the link to my thread about fixing up the car. I'll put up a picture of the "New" Air Dam installed when I get it on there.
