Pics of the front air damn/skidplate/etc?

I've got the two little side covers, under the car, but I've got a freeway overheating issue I'm sorting through now....

I'm reading there is an engine bottom cover, that is supposed to ensure all air goes through the radiator - I have NOTHING under there, other than the two side covers...

So what all is supposed to be under there? I know my '88 Camaro will overheat @ speed, without the airdam lip, that bolts underneath the radiator to force air through the radiator at speed...

Pics would be GREAT, as well!

It's just a big sheet of moulded plastic that runs from the Lip to the Crossmember and is folded up at the sides.

Well worth replacing.

Make sure you fit the bolts under the radiator as these are critical to it working correctly.

Lovely. I don't have one on my car... bet that's why I'm overheating after about 30 minutes of steady highway driving, but never overheat around town!

Any pictures of it?

Sorry I don't have a pic but yes the only time my car ran hot was without it at highway speeds or when the 3 bolts under the Rad were left out by a mate helping me!

LOL... Jeff @ Champion quoted me about $135 shipped for a new one... I'm wondering, though, if I could build one myself out of maybe some thin(ish) lexan or plexiglass, though, for cheaper.....

$135 sounds about right!

It's a very complex shape so wouldn't be easy to replicate, a couple of the guys have made sheet metal ones but there are usually gaps and Air being Air will always head to the path of least resistance so spills out the sides and you run hot!
